5 stars for taste, 4 stars for the ingredient list, 4.5 overall. First of all, I halved the almonds because I ran out. I started using my blender but it couldn't do the job so I had to get out the food processor. It makes too much pesto, but it tastes great! I ended up only using about half the pesto so I need to find something else to use it for. Next, I used two medium tomatoes and it just wasn't enough. Between the caprese salad and this I was out of tomatoes. I would increase your tomato amount if you like it more tomatoee on top. If you are using good tomatoes, omit the olive oil in the mixture. I was using wonderful tomatoes and thought the oil took away from the fresh flavor. Make it easier on yourself and make less pesto and more tomato mixture without the oil. Excellent!

Very very yummy! The proportions are off--you'll have way too much pesto than needed for the amount of tomatoes here. I guess that means I chop more tomatoes and we have it again tomorrow night! I only used about half the almonds and was happy with the texture they added. Also, if substituting dried basil for fresh, use 1/3, which would be 1 teaspoon in this recipe. This is also a great way to sneak spinach onto the menu.

Wow...this was very good! 1st attempt at Bruschetta (and pesto, too) and this impressed our dinner guests. The pesto was very "thick", though, and didn't want to blend in either the food processor or the blender. I'll try decreasing the almonds even more next time to get a better consistency.

I felt this was too rich/heavy taste for what I was looking for, although it was very good with a lot of flavor. It was also very messy to make in my little food processor. I made the recipe as instructed without alterations.

Awesome, awesome, awesome! I was taking this to a party so I couldn't stack it up like it suggested. Instead I mixed the pesto together with the tomatoes and cheese and served it with the toasted baguette pieces. It was FANTASTIC! It think my husband and I ate the entire bowl ourselves!

THIS IS AWESOME!!! I usually don't review recipes, but had to with this one. Made this for a friend's visit, and we both loved it. I made about a third of the recipe, and it was plenty for 8 slices of bread. Because I didn't have enough almonds, I also added pine nuts to the pesto base (half and half ratio). YUM!!!! Will definately make this a ton. Used my hand chopper instead of the clunky blender. Love this recipe!!!!

Very good! These went quick. Everyone wanted more. The only difference I did was add more olive oil to make a better consistency and a little balsamic vinegar to taste. I will be making these again. Thanks for the recipe.

Mmmm...I loved this bruschetta and so did everyone else at the party. Without a food processor it was a little messy to make but my small electric food chopper got the job done. I will definitely make this again!!!

Five stars all the way! These were amazing! Everything about them was delicious! We prepared a four course Italian dinner and these were more than a perfect compliment. To make these taste even better, we added a bit of grated cheese on top and that really topped it off. The pesto sauce was amazing and put together it was just a perfect appetizer.

Too bad there is not a photo yet. These are beautiful. And DELICIOUS. I've tried other bruschetta recipes from this site, and this recipe is worlds above the rest. I made the pesto and tomato mixture several hours ahead to let the flavors intensify. I also added a good balsamic to the tomato mixture. I needed alot more EVOO than 2TBS to make the pesto a good consistency. Otherwise, perfect!!!

This was a BIG crowd pleaser at a barbeque I attended. I was asked for the recipe several times! I also halved the almonds, and I hand chopped everything... it was worth it. Delicious! THANKS!
