Bruschetta With Tomatoes and Basil

This makes a quick but FANTASTIC lunch. Now that I know how easy it is to make Bruschetta, I'm going to make this regularly. I buttered some pumpernickel and cooked it in fresh garlic. A little mozzarella with your tomatoes, and oila! Recipe courtesy of Joy of Cooking.
