Ali's Amazing Bruschetta

Recipe courtesy of smallbutfeisty

***Here's the original recipe, but I make some changes to it.  I first toast the bread slices, after brushing them with olive oil.  

***A great thing about this recipe is that it can be modified--no need to be strict.  I typically use half a Vidalia onion and throw in some chopped garlic.

• 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.
