Very easy to put together and tastes very refreshing! Definitely use fresh tomatoes.

Mixed feelings on this one ... yes, it was very good, but took so much work! I'm LOL that they call it "In-a-Snap" Bruschetta. Even AFTER you spend 45 min dicing roma tomatoes, another 20 slicing & toasting bread, it still takes way more than 10 min just to spread the cream cheese on, add a spoonful of tomato stuff, and then carefully top each with parsley. Anyway, all that aside ... do not plan to assemble these ahead of time! Thankfully someone warned me not to top with the tomato mixture until right before serving. Even, so these will get soggy as they sit. All in all, they were delicious and the plate was cleaned, but I probably won't make again.

I had my teens at the Boys & Girls Club where I work make this for the annual board meeting. This recipe was a huge hit and was truly elegant.
