BEST EVER BRUSCHETTA
I went through a major bruschetta phase and tried many many recipes until I found the perfect one. This was originally Guy Fieri's but is slightly adapted to my taste after making it about a billion times. Cookingt time is marinating time.

- Roasted Garlic:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Rub off any loose papery skin from the garlic, and trim about a 1/2 inch off the top of each head, to expose the cloves. Set the garlic snugly in an ovenproof baking dish just large enough to hold them. Drizzle with the oil and season with the salt and pepper. Cover with foil and cook for about 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake until the heads are soft and the tops golden brown, another 30 minutes. Allow garlic to cool.
- Serve the garlic whole for a rustic garnish, or break the heads apart and squeeze the garlic out of skins to eat the whole clove. To store the garlic, place it in a container and cover with olive oil. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week. Use skinned roasted garlic to season mashed potatoes, in salad dressings, to flavor and thicken sauces, or on sauteed or roasted vegetables.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe tomatoes. If tomatoes are not in season, you can use canned diced tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well.
- Use a good quality olive oil. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the bruschetta.
- If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil. However, fresh basil will give the bruschetta a much better flavor.
- Don't overload the bruschetta with toppings. A few simple ingredients are all you need to create a delicious and flavorful snack or appetizer.
- Serve the bruschetta immediately. This is when it is at its best.
