    Place tomatoes in strainer over small bowl; press tomatoes to drain oil into bowl (2 to 3 tablespoons oil is needed). Brush oil on bread. Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until crisp.

    Top bread slices with tomatoes, bacon and cheese. Bake about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve warm.

  • Mozzarella is a good substitute for the mild, nutty-flavored Fontina cheese.
  • You can prepare and top the bread slices as directed up to 1 hour in advance. Pop in the oven to melt the cheese just before serving.
  • Bruschetta refers to toasted garlic bread that is topped with olive oil, salt and pepper. In this recipe, we have taken the flavors a step further by adding tomatoes and cheese.
