The Bruschetta at Cheesecake is good. However, I have a "quasi" recipe that will be sure to get raves. Everyone I have serve them to has LOVED them. Here goes, as I don't have quantities. Sorry, it's how I learned.
The Tomatoe Topping:
Ripe tomatoes,I prefer romas--iced small onions--chopped finely you can use either green onion or purple onion
Bottled Italian Dressing-Wish Bone or your favorite
Combine the chopped tomatoes and onions, pour Italian dressing over and set in the refigerator while you prepare the bread. Use a plastic or glass bowl.
The Bread
baguette bread--sliced in 3/8 to 1/2 inch thickness brush each slice with olive oil (just one side,oil side up) sprinkle your favorite Italian seasoning or maybe just some garlic
Lay on a cookie sheet and toast in the oven at 350. Watch carefully, it just needs to be golden not dark or anything.
The Finished Product
Using a slotted spoon, let some of the liquid drip then drop a dollop of the tomatoe mixture on the toast. Then sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese on the top of the tomatoes. Do not use the Parmesan cheese powedred stuff in a green can. A Taste Thrill for sure!!!!
I have done these for a party of 60 people. I toasted the breads and put them in a plastic bag. Then, would make a few at a time. That way they never got too soggy. Good luck, and sorry for the unusual recipe. DR
