I liked this. However, I only had a big ol' loaf of garlic french bread... but I made do. I had to used dried basil, and "salad bar" olives, green ones from Meijer. I left out the salt, since the olives have plenty, and I used feta cheese since I had to use that up. Nice alternative to traditional bruschetta, but be warned- it's very messy eatin'!

This was so easy to prep. I forgot to buy enough tomatoes for this recipe but found a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes in the pantry. I also used cannelloni beans because that is what I had on hand. I made this ahead of time, refridgerated it and took daughters and girlfriends to the lake. Toasted the bread as they showered. The juice from tomatoes soaked into the bread. Kids ate it up. Even the kid that doesn't eat tomatoes tried it.

I cannot tell you how many fans this recipe has, and how many times I've had to give it out to people. I always add way more garlic (the entirety of a small head), and I also added some lemon juice.

Awesome recipe. I used gorgonzola cheese instead of feta and added some capers in exchange for olives. Be sure that you season with salt to taste.

I made this the other night and had such great reviews. I did however use my olive oil that I flavor with Italian Herbs, Red Pepper Flakes and Fresh Garlic Cloves. I always have a bottle of that made up to use when I want to kick it up a little. So today 4 days later I brought the leftovers to work and everyone is asking for the recipe. This is a definate keeper. Messy to eat though, that is my only complaint.

Yum! The only thing I did different was heat it through before serving. Great alternative to basic bruschetta. Thanks!

YUM! Instead of putting this on the bread, I put it over penne pasta and added the goat cheese...my 2 year old gobbled it up...I used kalamata olives (are these the same as Greek?) and thought they were a little strong compared to the rest of the ingredients...but overall, yummy!

Fabulous! Love the addition of goat cheese! After assembled, I like to pop these back under the broiler for a minute or two. Every time I make these, there are no leftovers!
