good morning ladies and gentlemen, this mornings sermon is about weighty matters that have been preying upon my mind, along with the universe, love, sex, magick and the esoteric i have been pondering the nature of breakfast, what is the perfect way to start the day food wise?
i believe for me i have experimented with all sorts of bizarre and traditional combinations but recently discovered the perfect first meal of the day. a decaf latte, with bruschetta.
while i assume you know how to make a latte here's the recipe for a bruchetta .

step 1 Ingredients
Bruschetta is made up of very simple flavors, and is therefore best if you make it with highest quality and freshest ingredients you can find. 2 lbs. fresh tomatoes (roma, whatever is in season is best) 1/2 fresh onion 4 cloves fresh garlic 1 bunch fresh basil …

step 2 Dice the tomatoes
Using a sharp knife, dice the tomatoes as small as you can. I try to aim for 1/4" cubes and try to mush or break the tomatoes as little as possible.

step 3 Chop the onion
Next, finely chop the onion and throw it into the bowl.**If you're opposed to using raw onions, you can also lightly saute the chopped onion in a frying pan with a little bit of olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. It adds a sweeter deeper flavor to the bruschetta, and is an excellent variation

step 4 Chop the garlic
Next, chop the fresh garlic and add it onto the growing pile of deliciousness.

step 5 Add in fresh basil
Add in some fresh basil to taste. I'm using 3-4 large leaves here, but there's no "right" amount.

step 6 Olive oil, salt and pepper
Add in the extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and fresh ground pepper and mix the ingredients thoroughly. If you've got the time, let the mixture setup for 30 minutes in the refrigerator, if you don't it's also delicious when eaten immediately.

step 7 Toast the bread
Cut 1/4" thick slices of fresh Italian bread or baguette and toast them.

step 8 Serve
Finally, pile as much of the bruschetta as possible onto the freshly toasted bread, serve, and enjoy!

and finally as a variation spread pesto on the toasted bread before piling on the mixture, mmm perfection.
