Instructions

1. In a medium-sized bowl combine the tomato, green onion, garlic, mustard, and pepper. Gently stir in thyme (and capers – if using). Cover and let stand for 30 minutes at room temperature so the flavors can fuse. You can also cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
2. To make the toast, slice bread into 1/4 inch thick slices (will make approx. 24). Place bread slices on an ungreased baking sheet. For additional flavor lightly brush the top of the bread slices with olive oil and add oregano, black pepper, or other ground Italian spices.
3. Place the toast slices in the oven and bake at 425 ° for 5 minutes or until light brown and crisp. The bread slices will need to be turned once during baking.
4. Assemble the Bruschetta. Top each slice of toast with 1 tablespoon of the tomato mixture.
