I developed this recipe for cheese-topped bruschetta for a dinner gathering.

Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  1. 1 French baguette
  2. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  3. 2 roma (plum) tomatoes, thinly sliced
  4. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
  5. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  6. 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  7. 1 pinch ground white pepper
  8. 1 (8 ounce) package sliced mozzarella cheese
  9. 1 (6 ounce) package sliced provolone cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Slice baguette into 1/2-inch thick diagonal slices. Arrange slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil. Place tomato slices and a sprinkling of basil and oregano on bread slices. Sprinkle tomatoes, basil, and oregano with garlic powder and white pepper. Cover tomato slices with mozzarella and provolone. Place more basil, oregano, and tomato slices on top of the cheese.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly, 7 to 10 minutes.

I made this to go with a pot of minestrone. Suffice to say this dressed up bread made everyone forget the soup (except to dip the bread INTO the soup for even more of a treat)!! In a word … AMAZING. Cheap to make, easy to prepare, beautiful presentation, and life altering flavors.

We only had dried herbs on hand, but this was still great! The only thing I might try different next time would be to pre-toast the baguette slices before topping and completing the recipe — just to give them a little extra crunch. Yummy just as-is tho.

I made this for Bible Study tonight. Nothing left at the end of the study! Love it.

This worked excellent. Tweak as u want with flavors but the olive oil brushing and oven temp for browning was perfect. Will definitely continue to use this. Easy, easy, easy….and delish!

This bruschetta was really good. I used it to round up our soup meal. I used whole grain baguette, sliced grape tomatoes, dried herbs and shredded mix of Mozzarella and Provolone cheese. I only made one layer of tomatoes. I felt that layering them twice would result in toppings sliding of the bread in the oven.

This was DELICIOUS! The only thing I changed was using a Garlic Clove rather than Garlic Powder. It was so good words can’t even describe just drool 😛 haha.

So easy and delicious!

Simple and easy as a starter. I just added more oil to the bread before putting it in the oven to prevent it drying out too much.

This bruschetta could not have been better!

My family couldn’t get enough of the them. It was my first time making them & it was a chore to chop up enough of the tomatoes, but, it was worth it! I made more the next day too. I did make a few adjustments, I used regular french bread, I used the tips posted from a few other Allrecipes cooks. Then, just fine tuned it to my tastes. I added more olive oil & a bit more cheese, I used garlic powder & minced garlic(as posted by another) I also toasted the bread after brushing it with the oil. Added more black pepper too. It is a really good recipe, thanks for sharing it Susan!

Excellent! Great compliment to the Cajun Shrimp Pasta recipe. The fresh herbs make a difference.
Amy Day
I diced the tomatoes and added some onions as well.
Lydia Lopez
Wonderful! The fresh basil makes all the difference

Delish! Love the combo of cheeses. I probably quadrupled the basil, and used dried oregano as that’s all I had. Used fresh minced garlic, and tons of it. I think the amount of olive oil is off. I know I used more than a tablespoon. What can be better than tomato, basil and cheese melted on bread? Thanks Susan!

Delicious! Reminded me of the Bruschetta we had at an Italian restaurant we ate at while on vacation! Will definitely make again!

This was a total hit at the Superbowl party! I changed a few things, First: I omitted the oregano since I couldn’t find it fresh at the store. Second: I added two tablespoons of garlic powder. Third: I brushed the bread with olive oil, put a slice of mozzarella on top and baked them until golden brown, then I added the tomato mixture on top unbaked. Like regular bruschetta. It was delicious.
