Open-Faced Mozzarella Sandwiches

1 c chopped tomatoes
3 Tbsp olive or vegetable oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp thinly sliced green onions (I used regular onion because it's what I had and I really  liked the flavor if you can stand the onion breath the rest of the day)
1/4 tsp basil
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
Dash cayenne pepper
4-6 slices bread (We had some sour dough French which was really good, but any French or any good bread would be delicious)
1/2 c shredded mozzarella cheese (or whatever kind you have)

Combine the first eight ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour. Brush liquid from the tomato mixture onto one side of each slice of bread. Broil for 2 minutes or until crisp. Spoon 1/4 c or so of tomato mixture onto each slice. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil 1-2 more minutes or until bubbly.

The verdict: These were DELICIOUS! So simple, but we really enjoyed them. We just had a big salad and fruit with them. They would make a great side dish or appetizer as well. Jasher went back for three!
