To Try: Tomato and Basil Topped Bruschetta

I have been wanting to make this forever! Jason doesn't like tomatoes so I'll have to wait until we have company over.

Tomato and Basil-Topped Garlic Bruschetta

Ingredients:
6 (1-oz) slices Italian bread or peasant bread
1 garlic clove, halved and divided
4 tsp. olive oil
3 c. finely chopped seeded tomato
1/4 c. finely chopped red onion
1 T. balsamic vinegar
2 tsp. capers
3 T. thinly sliced fresh basil
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425. Arrange bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 425 for 8 minutes, turning after 4 minutes. Rub one side of toast with cute side of 1 garlic clove half; set toast aside. Mince remaining garlic clove half. Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic to plan; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add tomato and onion to pan; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Remove pan from heat. Stir in vinegar and capers. Cool completely. Stir in basil, salt, and pepper. Spoon 1/3 cup tomato mixture onto each toast slice. Serve immediately.
