This recipe is a crispy complement to any Italian entree. I started with my grandmother's recipe and just added fresh tomatoes.—Jean Franzoni, Rutland, Vermont

Absolutely yummy and so easy too! I brush the sliced baguette lightly with olive oil before toasting for a little more flavor and crispness. This is a favorite recipe that is always a hit whenever I make it for family and friends.

Very good - I used cilantro instead of basil and added a little chopped onion and a splash of white wine vinegar.

This bruschetta is fantastic!!!!!! I used fresh tomatoes and didn't seed them and it turned out quite liquidy but we ate it all regardless, everyone who tried it also loved it and I will absolutely make it again and again.

My husband made this Sunday morning.

He used a large can 16oz. ?? diced tomatoes with herbs drained instead of fresh tomatoes. He used dried basil instead of fresh so reduced the amount to 2 talespoons.

For a late lunch, we served it with sliced homemade whole wheat bread toasted with melted cheese. I also served ham & cheese omelettes baked in large muffin cups.

The bruschetta was delicious, a definite "Keeper". Both items were a big success. My sister-in-law loved the idea of baking the omelettes in the muffin tins & was thrilled to take home the bruchetta recipe. She had never considered using canned tomatoes to make her own. Now she will be able to make it like the one she fondly remembers eating at a restaurant several years ago.

Thank you Taste of Home for another great tasting recipe!
