    I loved it. We made it to accompany a ravioli dish and we ended up eating more of the bread than the main meal. We did change it a little by using just moss cheese and sub black pepper and sweet bread. It was excellent. We will make this again!

    A nice alternative to the normal bruschetta, the cheese really adds a nice texture.

    • 23 years ago

    This is a great recipe. I used just the mozzerela and dried herbs and it still came out really well. Very easy and delicious!

    • 23 years ago

    I’ve used this recipe as an hors d’oeuvres, and also as a luncheon selection.

    • 23 years ago

    This was a BIG hit at my Thanksgiving dinner! I used diced tomatoes instead of sliced, and it was still wonderful! It was the first appetizer to disappear & even my 16 month old liked it!!

    • 22 years ago

    Boy, was this easy and very tasty. My guests enjoyed these so much that after dinner I had to make another batch for those who didn’t arrive in time for appetizers. Definately a keeper for us!

    • 22 years ago

    I guess that making bruschetta at home isn’t for me. I added a little pesto to cut back on time, and it didn’t work out. Very strong, so I think I’ll stick to getting this out and leave it to the pros.

    Excellent appetizer, and so simple and quick. I would recommend making extra, as this bruschetta will go quickly!

    • 21 years ago

    Very good, but a bit time consuming to put together. I would make again, but only when I have ample prep time. I would recommend chopping extra oregano and basil, so you can sprinkle without worrying about running out.

    • 18 years ago

    Pretty good! I used sliced grape tomatoes for extra flavor, added a sprinkle of kosher salt, and next time I would omit the mozzerella for something stronger, probably extra-sharp Cheddar. Thanks!

    • 18 years ago

    DELICIOUS! Made one change, with all the fresh ingrediants I opted to use fresh garlic as well instead of garlic powder. Loved this recipe, thanks for sharing.

    • 17 years ago

    This is the first time I’ve made Bruschetta, it was delightful. A perfect light appetizer that will not leave an aftertaste that might spoil the main course. Loved it!

    • 17 years ago

    This was very good and easy to make, use fresh ingredients when possible an it will be that much better. The only thing I disagree with is the amount of olive oil, you will need more than a tbs otherwise it is great! Oh and we cooked it on the grill outside. I just put the slices on foil, set it on the top shelf ,on low heat and closed the grill. Turned out great but watch it close.

    I used grape tomatoes and put a little fresh parmesan over the top for a nice touch, yummy!

    I made this bruschetta for a Super Bowl party and was pleasantly surprised by how many compliments I got on the flavor. The only thing I’d change would be to toast the bread in the oven a bit before adding the cheese and tomato…my bread was still a bit soft after the 7-10 minute cooking time. I also used a very thin French baguette, so one slice of Roma tomato over the cheese and spices worked perfectly. Also, my friend suggested including a side plate of vinegar for dipping, and I think I’ll try that in the future.

    • 14 years ago

    Yum! I made only four just to try it out before making a whole batch. It’s fantastic. We’ll be having this tonight with our dinner. I customized it a tad, using goat cheese. Great recipe, thanks for sharing it.

    • 14 years ago

    I have made this about 5 times in the last 2 weeks. This is fantastic! Im absolutely hooked on this stuff. Everyone in the house loves it including the 2 and 9 year old. One of my favorite dishes to serve for gatherings too, I made 40 pieces and there was 2 left over the next morning….which I heated up and ate anyway 🙂

    • 14 years ago

    We LOVE this recipe! The only substitution I have made is roasted red peppers on some in place of tomatoes, for my hubs who isn’t a tomato fan. <3

    Its really a wonderful recipe and easy to make with a great look.

    • 13 years ago

    This was a total hit at the Superbowl party! I changed a few things, First: I omitted the oregano since I couldn’t find it fresh at the store. Second: I added two tablespoons of garlic powder. Third: I brushed the bread with olive oil, put a slice of mozzarella on top and baked them until golden brown, then I added the tomato mixture on top unbaked. Like regular bruschetta. It was delicious.

    • 13 years ago

    ver quick, very simple and DELICIOUS!!!

    • 13 years ago

    I made this for a get together and everyone loved it! I had people begging me to send them the recipe. Simple and easy to make but very tasty!

    • 13 years ago

    Yum. I love making this. So easy to do.

    • 13 years ago

    Delicious! Reminded me of the Bruschetta we had at an Italian restaurant we ate at while on vacation! Will definitely make again!

    • 13 years ago

    Delish! Love the combo of cheeses. I probably quadrupled the basil, and used dried oregano as that’s all I had. Used fresh minced garlic, and tons of it. I think the amount of olive oil is off. I know I used more than a tablespoon. What can be better than tomato, basil and cheese melted on bread? Thanks Susan!

    • 13 years ago

    Wonderful! The fresh basil makes all the difference

    • 12 years ago

    I diced the tomatoes and added some onions as well.

    • 12 years ago

    Excellent! Great compliment to the Cajun Shrimp Pasta recipe. The fresh herbs make a difference.

    • 12 years ago

    Awesome awesome recipe and it is super super easy!!!

    • 12 years ago

    My family couldn’t get enough of the them. It was my first time making them & it was a chore to chop up enough of the tomatoes, but, it was worth it! I made more the next day too. I did make a few adjustments, I used regular french bread, I used the tips posted from a few other Allrecipes cooks. Then, just fine tuned it to my tastes. I added more olive oil & a bit more cheese, I used garlic powder & minced garlic(as posted by another) I also toasted the bread after brushing it with the oil. Added more black pepper too. It is a really good recipe, thanks for sharing it Susan!

    This bruschetta could not have been better!

    • 11 years ago

    Simple and easy as a starter. I just added more oil to the bread before putting it in the oven to prevent it drying out too much.

    • 11 years ago

    So easy and delicious!

    • 10 years ago

    This was DELICIOUS! The only thing I changed was using a Garlic Clove rather than Garlic Powder. It was so good words can’t even describe just drool 😛 haha.

    This bruschetta was really good. I used it to round up our soup meal. I used whole grain baguette, sliced grape tomatoes, dried herbs and shredded mix of Mozzarella and Provolone cheese.
    I only made one layer of tomatoes. I felt that layering them twice would result in toppings sliding of the bread in the oven.

    • 8 years ago

    Everyone enjoyed it

    • 7 years ago

    This worked excellent. Tweak as u want with flavors but the olive oil brushing and oven temp for browning was perfect. Will definitely continue to use this. Easy, easy, easy….and delish!

    • 7 years ago

    I made this for Bible Study tonight. Nothing left at the end of the study! Love it.

    • 6 years ago

    We only had dried herbs on hand, but this was still great! The only thing I might try different next time would be to pre-toast the baguette slices before topping and completing the recipe — just to give them a little extra crunch. Yummy just as-is tho.

    • 2 years ago

    I made this to go with a pot of minestrone. Suffice to say this dressed up bread made everyone forget the soup (except to dip the bread INTO the soup for even more of a treat)!! In a word … AMAZING. Cheap to make, easy to prepare, beautiful presentation, and life altering flavors.
