Grilled Bruschetta

This is my favorite dish of summer, especially when we start getting fresh tomatoes from the garden.

1 loaf french or sourdough bread
1-2 tomatoes sliced
finely grated mozzarella cheese or sliced mozzarella cheese.
fresh or dried basil
olive oil
salt

1. Slice the bread in 1" thick slices. You should get about 12 slices from one loaf.
2. Thinly slice the tomatoes so you have enough to place 1 slice per piece of bread.
3. Brush one side of each slice of bread with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
4. Flip the bread over and top with 1 slice of tomato and a sprinkle of basil.

**Note, if using fresh basil, place one full leaf under the tomato. This is my favorite way to make it.

5. Place the bread oil side down on the grill away from the coals.
6. Top with cheese (if using sliced mozz, you can place the cheese on top before putting on the grill).
7. Grill for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is toasted and the cheese is melted.

Makes about 12 servings.

**Servings can be adjusted depending on the amount of bread, tomatoes and cheese on hand. I always make sure to have 2 pieces per person available because it's just too good to only have 1.
