Place bread slices on baking sheet and place under broiler to toast lightly, turning to brown both sides. Spoon bruschetta over toast, sprinkle with shredded parmesan, and arrange on platter. Serve Immediately.
****Alternative method: Simply place toast in basket, and bruschetta and cheese in bowls to allow guests (or family) to fix their own. (With this method you don't need to worry about toast getting soggy.)
****Yet another alternative method: Gently score bread slices before toasting. Once done, lightly rub garlic clove over the toast, and drizzle each slice with a scant amount of olive oil (or use olive oil spray).
