- 6 thick slices of bread (preferably Fred’s bread)
- 3-4 oz. new Reggiano Parmesan cheese
- balsamic vinegar (to taste)
- 1 tbs. extra virgin olive oil
- a clove of garlic
- salt
 (all of the above products are available at David’s Gourmet)

Toast the bread over a flame, making sure that only the outside is toasted and the inside remains soft. While the slices are still warm, rub the garlic on one side (more or less vigorously, according to personal preference), sprinkle with a little salt, and then lay thin slices of Reggiano parmesan on the bread. Sprinkle balsamic vinegar on each piece, slowly count up to twenty and then sprinkle with olive oil. To guarantee the success of this recipe, it is necessary to season the bread while still warm.

Origin:  Bruschetta is a food originating in central Italy. It was eaten during the 15th century. It consists of grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper.
