Here’s how I make mine – and don’t listen to the first person who answered. You do not toast tomatoes on top of the bread – that would be disgusting and soggy.

Bruschetta

4 medium sized tomatoes
2 cloves of garlic, plus one clove
7-10 basil leaves
Salt and pepper
Olive oil
Thick slices of mozarella cheese
1 crusty baguette

Dice tomatoes and place in a bowl. Finely chop 2 cloves of garlic and add to the tomatoes. Take the basil leaves and stack on top of one another. Then roll them into a cigar shape and slice little ribbons of basil. Add to the tomatoes and garlic. Toss with 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil, and add salt and pepper to taste. Slice the baguette and brush each slice with a little olive oil. Toast in a pre-heated 400 degree oven for 4-6 minutes, until lightly golden brown. When they come out of the oven, rub the top of each slice with the remaining clove of garlic and then top with the slice of mozarella. Put back in the oven for 2 additional minute to melt the cheese. Top with the tomato mixture.

Variations to the tomato mix:

Add 1 onion, diced
Toss with italian dressing instead of olive oil
Add 2 tbsp of capers

6 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped – Reg. tomatoes will do.
4 cloves minced garlic
1 finely chopped red onions
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup fresh basil, stems removed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 green chili (optional) – finely chopped

In a large bowl, combine the roma tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, basil, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to sit for 30 minutes in the fridge. The green chili gives it a bite!

toast a slice of crusty bread such as ciabatta rub with olive oil and a cut garlic clove then put any topping you want on such as mozzarella tomato basil pine nuts balsamic vinegar or you could ask at the deli what they put on it and replicate at home or if it comes in a wrapper have a look at the ingredients list

This is the closest that I could find

2 cups assorted cherry, grape, and teardrop tomatoes, halved
(or quartered if large)
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil plus additional for brushing
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove, peeled, halved

Combine halved tomatoes, finely chopped onion, 3 tablespoons olive oil, chopped fresh basil and cilantro, and balsamic vinegar in medium bowl; season tomato topping with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Topping can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature, tossing occasionally.

Preheat broiler. Place focaccia half, cut side up, on baking sheet; brush bread with olive oil. Toast bread in broiler until top is golden brown, watching closely to avoid burning, about 2 minutes. Immediately rub cut side of bread all over with halved garlic, then cut focaccia crosswise into 4 equal pieces.

Top toasted focaccia with tomato mixture and serve.

I get so many compliments on this version of bruschetta:
2 large ripe red tomatoes, diced small (include all seeds and juice)
1/2 c chopped flat leaf parsley
1/2 c julienned basil leaves
1-2 t dried oregano
1/2 red onion, finely diced
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 c extra virgin olive oil
combine all ingredients and let sit for at least 1/2 hour
in the meantime, peel one or two large cloves of garlic
Slice a baguette or your favorite Italian pane and toast. Rub each slice the warm toast with the garlic clove and set on a large platter. Top the toast slices with a large spoonful of the tomato/basil mixture and serve.
