2. Cut the baguette into 3/4- inch slices. Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, until slightly brown.

3. Slice cheese to fit on top of baguette slices. Divide tomato mixture evenly over the baguette slices. Top the slices with cheese.

4. Broil for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Tips: Bruschetta makes a great main dish when made on a thicker baguette and topped with sliced grilled chicken (cooking the bruschetta with chicken under the cheese helps keep the chicken from falling off).
