I liked the two types of tomatoes and the balsamic vinegar used in this recipe. I would have to say, if you do not like balsamic vinegar, you may want to add less when making this. Make sure you drain the tomato mixture so the baguette does not get soggy. I'd also toast each side of the baguette. Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag 2011

My grandson had to come up with an exit project from 8th grade. He chose cooking and used this recipe for his demo. We made a batch the night before so the favors would be just right, then he did his demo in front of the teachers. Unfortunately there was no kitchen so we left out the cheese and toasted the bread the day before. People could smell this wonderful aroma clear down the hall and were stopping by for their sample! Needless to say, everyone was impressed with my little chef. I will be taking this recipe to a Christmas gathering Wednesday evening and I know it will be a big hit.

Double tomato, how can you go wrong? This recipe did not disappoint, definitely one of the best if not the best bruschetta recipes I've tried and I love bruschetta so much I've tried many. The changes I made to this recipe were low-fat changes, including less olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes with no oil, part skim mozzarella and sourdough bread instead of the baguette. This was practically a meal in itself, but I served it with a vegetable side anyway. This may be the end to my quest for the best bruschetta recipe, thank you very much!

I am happily married to my best friend and we just bought our first house! No kids but we have 2 little dogs that we think the world of. I was born in California and although I have been on the East Coast for most of my life I am still displaced! I love the beach and hate the cold! In our free time we love to go to the beach or the mountains and hike or intertube down the lazy Shenendoah River. It is so beautiful there! I have loved to cook all of my life and will read cookbooks like they are novels!
