Ali's Amazing Bruschetta

I love to make this for gatherings.  I modify by brushing olive oil on the bread and then lightly toasting.  You don't have to bake this afterward, but I normally do.  French bread is a nice substitute too.  I typically use a Vidalia onion, and dried spices (except for basil, which I usually have on hand fresh).

INGREDIENTS 

• 2 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped
• 1/2 sweet onion, chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 (1 pound) loaf Italian bread, cut into 1 inch slices
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, olive oil, oregano, basil and parsley. Place bread on a baking sheet, and top with tomato mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until bottom of bread is browned. Allow to cool 5 minutes before serving.
