Brian's Notes:
The kids love this one. Quick and easy, warm and cheesy, this one is also a hit with guests. Add red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
 
Comments from the Test Kitchen:
This simple dish has great flavor... largely due to the fresh tomatoes and prominent basil!  I used 3 large tomatoes when I prepared the dish, but feel free to adjust to your liking.

Had the bruschetta tonight and it was wonderful! Since there are only two of us, cut way down on the proportions, but stuck to your ingredients and instructions. Will be making this again.
