- 3 -4 roma tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1⁄4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

directions
- Combine the first six ingredients. Let them blend for an hour at room temperature.
- Preheat the oven broiler on medium or low, just high enough to brown cheese and warm the tomato mixture.
- Slice up the french bread into 1.5" thick slices. Drizzle olive oil in a hot nonstick pan and place french bread in the pan. Sautee until brown and crisped and then turn over. Add more olive oil as needed.
- When bread is browned evenly on both sides, remove to a baking sheet. Top each slice of bread with a mound of the tomato mixture. Top with a small scattering of mozzarella cheese and put under the broiler until cheese is browned and bubbly.
- Serve immediately.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My husband is the true chef in the household, but I love to dabble and try recipes myself. While Jay prefers to cook full-on main courses, I like to fix sides and appetizers the best. I also like taking photos of the food when I'm done, and seeing if I can get them looking even close to professional.
My husband tells me that my problem is that I almost never fix a recipe the way it was written. I'm always, ALWAYS, trying to "improve" upon it. Sometimes it works. Many times it doesn't.
I'm a technology manager. It's a job that can drain your soul, but I work for a fantastic team and I love the people I work with. I also enjoy photography, writing and gardening.
