Ingredients

8 Roma plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
⅓ cup chopped fresh basil
4-5 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 loaf French bread, Italian bread or baguette
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus shaved Parmesan for topping (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the broiler (set to high if there is an option for that).
Combine tomatoes, basil and garlic in a medium bowl.
Mix in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper.
Slice bread ½ -¾ inch thick. Spread butter onto each slice and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
Place on a baking sheet and broil for 2–5 minutes, or until toasted. You can also toast buttered bread slices, sprinkled with cheese, in a skillet over medium-low heat.
Add tomato topping to toasted bread slices and sprinkle with shaved Parmesan before serving, if desired.

Notes

Make Ahead: Add all of the ingredients except for the fresh basil and place in a covered bowl in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Right before broiling bread, add the basil to the other bruschetta ingredients.
