Balsamic Bruschetta

8 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced

1/3 cup chopped fresh basil

1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon olive oil

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 loaf French bread, toasted and sliced

In a bowl, toss together the tomatoes, basil, Parmesan cheese, and garlic. Mix in the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper. Serve on toasted bread slices.

* I used 11 roma tomatoes, so I increased the balsamic to 2 tbsp., the Parmesan cheese to 3/4 c and added one more garlic clove. (And, I added about 1/2 tbsp. minced onion to give some extra flavor.)
