Sundried Tomato Crostini

   A simple crostini is one of the tastiest easiest things you can make.  Sometimes I would rather just eat the entire tray of them instead of dinner.  Crostini are small thinly sliced bread (insert crispy baguette here) that are either toasted or grilled and then are served with a garnish on top.  In this case, that toasted bread is getting spread with a sundried tomato mixture.

Ingredients

• Tomatoes (3 or 4) - preferably your garden
• Garlic (4-6 cloves)
• Sundried Tomatoes - a handfull (out of a jar from the Italian section)
• Fresh Basil - preferably your garden
• Grated Romano cheese (a few handfulls)
• Good Olive Oil (In moderation it is just FINE)
• Crispy Baguette of bread (to your liking)

Directions

   I am anal when it comes to cutting things in perfect ways, the more work you put in earlier the better everything will look when served.  *Remember, if people think it looks good they have a biased in their brain that thinks it should taste as good.  Presentation is huge!  Chop all of the ingredients in the same little cubes and toss in a large bowl.   There will be plenty of juice from the tomatoes so you will not need a crazy amount of olive oil.  Add a few hand fulls of grated Romano cheese and add a few dribbles of olive oil (3-4tbspn).  Mix all of these ingredients with a spoon and garnish with salt, pepper and fresh chopped basil.  In the mean time make sure you do not slice your bread too thick, also keep in mind the size...one biters are perfect.  Coat the sliced bread with a drip of olive oil to prevent burnt instead of toasted bread.  You can either throw it in the oven for a quick toast or you could toss them on the grill.  When finished rub the toasted bread with a clove of garlic (little trick)  and spoon on your sundried tomato mixture.  One of the best things about this is the price, you can make a boatload of these for 10-15$ (all depending if you are using your garden properly!)  Garnish with fresh basil and watch them get devoured.
