List of Ingredients
8 oz. loaf French Bread
2 T. olive oil
2 medium red and/or yellow tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/4 c. chopped, pitted ripe olives
3 T. sliced green onions
1 Jalapeno pepper or 1 small banana pepper, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 T. olive oil
1 T. snipped fresh oregano or 1 tsp. dried oregano, crushed
1/8 tsp. pepper
2/3 c. finely shredded Parmesan cheese
Description
Cut bread into 3/8 inch thick slices. Brush both sides of each slice lightly with the 2 T. olive oil. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 5 to 10 minutes or until crisp and light brown, turning once.
For topping, stir together tomatoes, olives, green onion, jalapeno or banana pepper (if desired), garlic, 1 T. olive oil, oregano and pepper.
To assemble, top each toasted slice with a little Parmesan cheese, then about 1 T. of the tomato topping. Sprinkle each with some of the remaining Parmesan. Return slices to the baking sheet. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese starts to melt and topping is heated through.
Serve warm.
