Place the bread slices onto a baking sheet, and place it in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes. It should be lightly toasted. While the bread toasts, prepare the bruschetta.
16 slices Italian bread
In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, onions, basil, garlic, and olive oil. Taste, and add salt and pepper.
1 pound roma tomatoes, ½ cup white onions, ½ cup fresh basil, 2 garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons olive oil, Salt and pepper
Top each piece of bread with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the tomato mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the tomato mixture.
¼ cup parmesan cheese
Return the bruschetta back to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, and allow cheese to melt slightly.
Serve immediately!
Notes
Depending on the size of the bread slices, you may have some bruschetta leftover.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep the tomato mixture separate from the bread.
