Bruschetta

25 french bread slices, preferably baguette size
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

3 cups diced tomatoes
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
6 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350° F. Place bread slices on large cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 5-10 minutes or until bread is crisp and slightly golden brown.

In a large mixing bowl combine tomatoes, cheese, garlic, basil, vinegar, thyme, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Blend well, cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours. This makes a ton! Spoon on top of bread slices.
