Bruschetta with Purple Basil

Had to make a little snack...basil-tomato bruschetta. Sourdough bread...gotta make it on sourdough. Sourdough spritzed with olive oil and rubbed with a garlic clove. Toasted. Smeared with Parmesan-cottage cheese and topped with a slice of tomato...fresh, vine-ripened tomato. With basil, purple if you can get it. I did. It came in the box from SLO Veg this week. I am in heaven!
