Savory Bruschetta image

This is one of my family's favorite things that I make. Sage,Thyme, Onions,Tomatoes and Swiss cheese make this a very savory and tasty appetizer. It's very simple and can be tweaked with other additions if you like. I try to buy a few baguettes at a time so I can slice them all up and place them in zip lock baggies and freeze.Then whenever I have tomatoes onions and cheese on hand, I can take out the bread,defrost, and put this quick appetizer together in a matter of minutes.

Swiss Cherry Bruschetta image

This recipe is a spinoff a cherry chicken main dish my husband adores. The combination of sweet, tart and salty flavors provides a contrast that's hard to resist. -Shelley Platten, Amherst, Wisconsin
