Cheesecake Factory Bruschetta Recipe

The other night when I served the cream cheese bruschetta, I also made this one. My son was home and I knew he wasn't fond of cream cheese so I decided to make this recipe for him. It's from the Top Secret Restaurant Recipes cookbook by Todd Wilbur.

I have never had the bruschetta from the Cheesecake Factory, but I can say that this recipe was great! We all liked it and had a hard time deciding which bruschetta we liked the best!
