For anyone who likes to go camping this makes an excellent out of the ordinary treat. Just grill the French bread instead of baking. It's a nice switch from the usual camping foods when added with a steak and some stuffed mushroom caps!

is great to use with crackers, just seed your tomatos first. A favorite in our home and others with whom we have shared with

Yummy! I seeded my tomatoes, so it didn't get soggy. I also used bagette bread cut in slices instead of French bread cut lengthwise. It made for crispier toasts. Great flavor. (I've used dried basil in a pinch and it works out fine - I just let the tomatoe mixture stand for a while to marry the flavors.)

Too soggy. Made it for a bridal shower and it was the least favorite item for everyone who attended

This was incredibly easy but my guestswere amazed at my culinary expertise! I put a little red onion, a clove of garlic, and a splash of olive oil in with the tomatoes to spice it up a bit! I will definitely make this recipe again!

This is a new family favorite at our house! Although I omitted the olives, & added a few tablespoons of Italian dressing & chopped onion to the tomato mixture. It's delicious with or without the cream cheese spread.

This was the best bruschetta I've ever tasted..I wish i could eat it every day! It's great for entertaining or just eating with some salad. I love it!

This is the best appetizer and it would also be perfect for a buffet style dinner party. Makes a great presentation and very festive. Tip: A great variation is to not use french bread and substitute with thin pre-sliced Italian bread.
