  1. DH loved this bruschetta. We really enjoyed the cream cheese and parmesan base with the tanginess of the tomatoes. I made two changes -- I did not use the onion as I like the garlic to be the predominate flavor over onion. I had a large batch of grape tomatoes on hand that needed to be used up so I roasted them in the oven with some olive oil and S & P. They really added a great depth of flavor. This recipe can be adapted in many ways and is certainly a keeper. Made for Fall PAC, 2012.
