Just made this tonight and I followed some of the other reviewers' suggestions. I omitted the capers and onion, and added garlic (I love garlic, even raw I am out of balsamic, so I used red wine vinegar, as suggested. I brushed the bread with olive oil and grilled it on a gas grill then turned it over and added the topping and let it cook on the grill. It was DELICIOUS. I made it for my parents and they both raved and raved about it. This will definitely be in my rotation when I'm using up all of my summer tomatoes!

I made this recipe as an appetizer for friends one night and it was a huge hit! The only modifications I made were I left out the capers and only added 1/4 of an onion. I would also recommend cooking it at a slightly lower temperature for a little longer so the cheese melts completely without browning the top too much. It was really good - so flavorful! I will definitely be making this recipe again!!

Divine...very flavorful! We added garlic and parmigiana regiano. We also used vine ripe tomatoes, which have lots of flavor as well. I think baking it is the best way to bring out all the flavors...absolutely delicious!
