Bruschetta

1 French baguette, cut into 1/2 inch thick circles
8 plum tomatoes, diced
1 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 red onion, minced
freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic

1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2 Combine tomato, basil, and red onion in a small mixing bowl; stir well.
Season with freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
3 Arrange bread on a baking sheet. Place in oven, and bake until well toasted,
approximately 5 minutes.
4 Remove bread from oven, and transfer to a large serving platter. Let bread
cool 3 to 5 minutes. Rub garlic into the top of each slice of toast; the toast
should glisten with the garlic. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each
slice, and serve.
