Party Bruschetta - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 loaf French baguette
    1/4 cup olive oil (more or less)
    1 pinch kosher salt
    3 roma tomatoes
    6 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
    1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese (optional)
Preparation
    Slice baguette into 1/2\" slices on an angle.
    Pour olive oil into a shallow bowl, like a small cereal bowl.
    Dip each slice into the olive oil and place on a cookie sheet.
    Holding your hand very high, dust a tiny amount of kosher salt over the bruschetta. (Better to skip this step then to do too much. I would skip this step also if you only have regular table salt.).
    Cut the roma tomatoes in quarters and remove all of the seeds. Then dice them into 1/4\" pieces.
    Sprinkle the diced tomato on the bruschetta. There should be no more than 4-5 pieces of tomato on each.
    Put no more than 2-3 pieces of basil on each bruschetta.
    Dust each piece with shredded parmesan cheese if desired.
    Broil for just a minute or two, watching carefully. They can go from just right to burnt in a flash!
