3 plum tomatoes, sliced into 1/4 inch thick slices

Salt and Pepper
Parmesan Cheese Shredded finely
16 wooden skewers, soaked in water
Preheat oven to 425. Trim crust from bread and quarter slices. Brush all sides with olive oil and put on baking sheet in oven for 5 minutes so all sides are golden but not browned. Remove.
