Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Let sit for a few minutes. Reserve a little of the basil for a garnish.

Prepare Bread
Preheat broiler. Toast bread on both sides. This can be done in a toaster, but it takes longer. Rub a garlic clove on both sides of the toasted slices. Spread bread out on a cookie sheet or large roasting pan. Even distribute the tomato mixture over the bread slices. Top with parmesan cheese. Place under the broiler for about 1 minute, until cheese is melted. Place slices on a serving plate and garnish with reserved basil.
