I have a recipe very close to this it is truely a fresh and delicious start to a meal or a party take along, especially during the summer months!! I just toast the bread rounds and serve the "sauce" in a bowl for guest to spoon over bread, I do not top with cheese.

This was also my first time making Bruschetta...my husband is a big fan. He (and our guests) loved this recipe so much, he went out and bought 3 more pounds of tomatoes that same night so I can make more the next day (like have nothing better to do than chop tomatoes all day);-) We didn't serve it with the parmesan cheese either and allowed guests to spoon their own servings. It was an all-around hit!

My family are not lovers of raw onions, so I tried this recipe but without the onion and melted marble cheese on it rather than parmesan. It was fabulous...my husband claims "better than the restaurant's!". I guess this is bruschetta "caker style". Thanks!

This is the first time I have ever made Bruschetta -- and my guests said that it tasted like something you'd get in a restaurant! And boy was it GOOOOOD!!!

If the kids won't eat it, try cooking up some pepperoni separately for topping -- and change the cheese from Parmesan to Mozzerella. They'll love it!

we make this frequently - we use grape tomatoes, fresh mozzarella (sliced thinly), and we actually add sweet peppers to the mix and saute for a few minutes before serving. Then add all components to a platter and let everyone forage! It's always a big hit!
