Fourth of July Tri Color Bruscetta

Back by popular demand is my famoso Bruscetta. I even got a request from a friend of my sons to make my Tomato Bruscetta for our 4th of July pre firework celebration. As I have said the true secret of Bruscetta is the bread. A French or Italian bread should be used, and the slices of bread should be evenly coated with olive oil, and garlic. Fresh garlic the best, but garlic powder, or garlic salt will do. I will say, if French or Italian bread is impossible, any other sliced bread could work. Its just a matter of flavoring the bread and toasting it. I would have loved to do a red, white and blue selection of Bruscetta tonight, but I just couldnt wrap myself around some blue food(blueberries?) so we will settle for red, whte and green. (that works, Im Italian)
