Tomato Bruschetta

This is my go-to recipe when I am in need of a really tasty appetizer. It is also great on its own as a lunch. The original recipe has oregano instead of basil but I'm not a huge fan of oregano. So, I replaced it with the basil and, IMHO, it is 100% better. (I will add a photo later)

1/2 baguette, sliced into 1 inch slices                 
1/3 cup butter  (or margarine)                                                      
1 garlic clove, minced                                          
1 Roma tomato, diced                                           
½ green pepper, diced
1
tsp basil or 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil

1 TBSP olive oil
½ cup mozzarella, shredded
1/3 cup parmesan, shredded



Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
Mix oil, tomato, green pepper, and basil.  Set aside.
Mix minced garlic and butter (margarine) until creamy.  Spread on one side of the sliced baguette.
Sprinkle slices with shredded cheeses.
Spoon tomato/pepper mixture onto the slices of baguette.  

Bake at 350°F for about 15 minutes.
