even when i used dry instead of fresh ingredients, this recipe lived up to is name. only change was a dash of salt. next time, i will add minced garlic and use fresh ingredients for even better results.

this was a good recipe to start from, did find it a little soupy. i put it on italian bread that i pre-toasted. before toasting, i brushed with an olive oil, toasted one side, flipped it and brushed again this time topping with freshly grated parm cheese. YUM! after taking out of oven, let cool and top with *drained* brushetta or it will ruin the bread. i also use this recipe on grilled chicken breast and grated cheese and it is very very good!!

It was kind of liquidy when I did it...

We really enjoyed this. I recommend toasting the bread slices before adding the tomato mixture. Tomato mixture is best when it has at least several hours for flavours to mingle. I had only dried herbs on hand and used an Italiano mix. It was still great. Also, for the cheese I placed a small piece of provelone on top and let it melt on. Delicious!

Excellent Bruschetta! I made a couple of changes per suggesteions of the other reviews. I added a bit of balsamic viniger, a dash of kosher salt, some fresh pressed garlic and some olive oil into the actual tomato portion and chilled for an hour. For the bread -I took fresh garlic and rubbed it all over the top of the bread pieces, spread olive oil over that and then topped with parmesean and then toasted the bread in the oven. Then when guests arrived topped the bread with the chilled bruschetta. It was a HUGE hit! Everyone enjoyed very much and said it was the best bruschetta they'd ever had! Excellent!

This was very good. Made a few minor changes. I added a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt. I dipped one side of thin sliced french bread in a good olive oil, then lightly dusted them with garlic powder and Parmesan Cheese. I put them on a cookie sheet and baked in a 400 degree oven, turning them over after 10 minutes. Baked these until they were a light brown. I served these toasts next to the bowl of bruschetta. I did not toast the bread with bruschetta mixture on top.

For a twist I added some chopped coooked shrimp and crabmeat. Made a great herbed seafood bruschetta

it's very easy. it tastes much better with only the bread toasted/broiled w/ olive oil and then garlic. And then just spooning over the tomato mix and serve!

This recipe was awesome. I made it as an appetizer for my family -- and they ate every last crumb. They're very picky eaters -- so I was pleased. The only thing I changed was I drizzled balsamic vinaigrette over the top once everything was assembled. Gave it the perfect zing.

Yummy but I add garlic like the other readers have done. I also toast the bread first, definitely helps keep it from getting soggy. I cut back on the olive oil to make it a little healthier.

I constantly use this recipe for those fast appetizer dishes for summer dinner parties.It's always a hit.

I made these and they were GREAT and so easy! Linda

I'm with Hollyj on this. Good base, but as is... Not the best and a bit soggy. Definitely add garlic. More cheese. Drizzle and toast bread prior to topping.

Loved it!

This is a very good bruschetta recipe. I made it excatly as the recipe states. Be sure to allow your mix to marry in the fridge for a while. It reallys brings out the flavors.

These came out great and I will definitely make again... but I agree with others and I should have added garlic. Next time I make this I'll add garlic. Yum!

A very good bruschetta. Like a lot of other reviewers, I felt garlic really improves the taste. And I think it needs something to add a little kick, so I've tried balsamic vinegar and a large pinch of salt, on different occasions. I think that salt foes more to balance out the natural sweetness of the dish.

This was an excellent bruschetta recipe. To ensure the bread didn't get soggy, I spread a bit of garlic butter on each piece and toasted them for 1-2 minutes before adding the brushetta. I omitted the Parmesan since some of my guests didn't like Parm and they were a huge hit at my dinner party last night. Thanks!

I made this on Super Bowl and I wished I had of made more. I toasted up some rye bread and rub it with garlic gloves and served it with that. This is a keeper!! As a matter of fact, I'm making a big batch for a friend to thank her for dog sitting. She was here when I made it and her kids went nuts over it. Great Recipe.
