Chippie's Note:

This was really simple and good. My baguette was rock hard by the time i decided to try this out, so i had to use regular bread, but the recipe still prevailed. This was good eats. Thank you.

Good. We liked it, but the tomatoes I used weren't the best, so I'll try it again with better ones.

This is lovely and so simple. I did have to make a few adjustments, but tried to stick as close to the recipe as possible. To start with I didn't have any garlic powder, so I just rubbed the bread witha clove of fresh garlic before topping it with the tomatoes. I didn't have provolone cheese or fresh oregano either, so I used cheddar cheese with the mozzarella and dried oregano instead. Thanks for sharing!
