There are so many options for bruschetta toppings. And I should say my measurements are estimates. Bruschetta makes a great side but it can also hold its own as a satisfying entree. It is delicious and flavorful and the moisture of the tomato mixture with the crunch of the bread is a really nice combo. You could swap out the parsley for basil. For an extra special taste sensation, drizzle balsamic glaze over the bruschetta after you plate it. Pour a glass of wine and you're all set!

Put the baguette slices on a foil covered baking sheet and brush olive oil on one side of the bread. Broil, and speaking from experience--keep a close eye on the bread, for a few minutes on one side until golden brown. Remove from oven and spoon the tomato mixture over the baguette slices.
