Mushroom, Tomato, And Caramelized Garlic Bruschetta

   When the caramel starts getting brown, carefully add the vinegar. Be careful with this step, given the risk of splashing, which may cause burns. The vinegar will stop the caramelization, and prevent the caramel from solidifying when cooled.

   In the same skillet, cook the sliced cherry tomatoes for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn over, and cook the other side.

    Pour a little olive oil on each slice of bread.
