Hope You Like This. My Comfort Food.


'Twas several days ago that I felt a bit low and so I prepared a comfort food. An early evening spring snack/dinner.

It's healthy, actually. Consists of bruschetta, fruits of the season and .... chocolate cookies.

NO FRILLS - BRUSCHETTA

Cut several slices of Italian bread. For a one-person dinner, I cut three slices. Spread with butter or margarine.

Meanwhile:

Slice and cut to small pieces one (1) large plump red tomato. You can take out the seeds and most of the juice, if you like, and include only the fleshy part.

Personally, I include everything. Put in bowl.

Add 1 tbsp Olive oil, a dash of pepper into bowl. Mix everything.

Put slices of bread into oven toaster or regular toaster, and set into light. If you prefer crunchy bruschetta , then put setting to medium.

When bread is toasted, take out from oven. Layer the bread with the tomato mix.

You should cover the bread with tomatoes.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella or pieces of Havarti cheese on top of tomatoes.

Put back slices of bread into toaster and toast again in low. Take it out once cheese is melted.

Serve with red or white wine.

FRUITS
Slice half-a-cantaloupe into horizontal pieces. Wash strawberries. Scoop several chocolate cookies.
ENJOY!

looks good. i would opt for butter instead of hydrogenated margarine. and, red wine is more healthier than white wine because of resveratrol. here's more on resveratrol, health and lifestyle - http://www.genesis24.com
