Category: Bruschetta, Crostini and Canapes

2 small tomatoes; diced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic; crushed
2 tbsp fresh basil; chopped
1 tsp dried basil
1 tbsp fresh oregano; chopped
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp chopped green onions
12 French bread slices; 1/2-inch thick
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

In a small bowl, combine tomatoes, oil, garlic, basil, oregano and onion. Let stand for at least 20 minutes.

Toast bread on a baking sheet under the broiler, turning once, until brown on both sides. Divide tomato mixture evenly over bread; sprinkle with cheese. Broil for 2 minutes, or until heated through.

Variations: Add 3 tbsp finely diced yellow or red pepper or red onion to the tomato mixture, or sprinkle 2 tbsp diced sun-dried tomatoes over slices just before broiling.
