Easy Bruschetta

Bruschetta is a nice treat to have every once in a while. This bruschetta recipe drastically cuts down the calories by replacing olive oil with spray olive oil. Using fresh tomatos also makes each bite that much more satisfying. Make this as an appetizer for a fun event, or just as a quick snack! The possibilities are endless.

                

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Cut your bread, preferably a French baguette, into small circles- cutting straight down along the bread. Spray both sides of each piece with Pam and spread some minced garlic on the top. Toast in the oven for about 10 minutes, until the edges are browned. Take this time to prepare your bruschetta spread. Dice your plum tomatoes into small pieces. Mix together with balsamic vinegar, fresh basil, salt, and reduced fat grated parmesan cheese. Once the bread is toasted, spoon a generous amount onto each piece. Garnish with basil, serve, and enjoy!
