Fresh Bites: Tomato & Fontina Bruschetta

A delicious excuse for a tomato-picking excursion followed by family bonding in the kitchen.

INGREDIENTS (serves 4-6)

6 slices fresh country bread
4 tbsp olive oil
6 thin slices fresh fontina
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
1 pinch sea salt

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Brush the slices of bread with the olive oil and place on a cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until very lightly golden.
3. Remove the bread from the oven and top with fontina and tomato halves. Turn the broiler to high and broil for 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese melts. Remove from the oven, drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and serve!
