Ingredients
- Italian Bread, Sliced Thinly
- Goat Cheese (5.5 oz package)
- 3-4 Plum Tomatoes
- Balsamic Vinegar
- Fresh Black Pepper
- 3 Pieces Sliced Jalapeno (Get smallest can and you'll have have plenty leftover)
- ~1/4 Large Red Onion or ~1/2 Small One
Method
- Cut slices of bread into pieces which can be piled with deliciousness and easily bitten into. I like pieces no bigger then... say 6 bites.
- Set oven to Low Broil. Lay bread pieces on a sheet of AL foil and place under broiler. Keep a close eye on the crispiness of your bread. I think a real light-light brown provides a nice texture. Beware of over crisping your bread: one crunchy bite and all your tasty tomatoes galore will fly off! Party foul!
- Halve tomatoes, remove seeds, dice, and place in a medium bowl.
- Depending on how slow you use a knife you might wanna take your bread out of the oven. If your a regular Mister Delicious then you can probably wait a while longer.
- Chop onion and jalapeno fine and combine in bowl with tomatoes.
- Add liberal amount of balsamic vinegar to mixture so that liquid covers about 1/3 the chopped ingredients and mix.
- Add fresh cracked pepper to taste.
- Spread nice base layer of goat cheese to your Italian bread toast.
- Spoon on your yummy mixture and enjoy! MMMmmm! So good!
