I used dark German bread and enjoyed this! I used cherry tomatoes from the garden too. Thanks for a yummy snack!

Alas, I believe today was my last basil harvest of the season (cool weather has nipped my plant already!)--and this recipe was as fine a use as I can think of for the occasion! What a pleasant lunch; it reminded me of bruschetta but had the feel of a sandwich. This is especially true as I used wheat bread instead of english muffins. DH suggested that we sprinkle the tops with parmesan before the second broiling, and he was right on the money with that one. I had reservations about the tanginess of the yogurt, but it blended beautifully. I probably used double the amount of garlic called for, but that was just out of personal preference. Thanks for posting! Made for Zaar Tag 2008.
