I love a good and HOT bruschetta.
We often serve this as it goes with just about anything from a good steak to grilled salmon.

add oregano to the spices, or pesto sauce if you have it.
goat cheese is a winner on bruschetta. I once added chopped cashews to bruschetta and it was amazing!!!

I prefer brushcetta at room temperature - but it is my all time favourite appetizer.
I would highly recommend using Feta cheese instead of mozerrella though.
