- 3 tbsp minced red onion
- 3 tsp capers, rinsed
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp balsamic vinegar

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Reconstitute the sun-dried tomatoes by placing them in a small bowl and pouring about 1 cup of boiling water over them. Let the tomatoes rest in the hot water until it cools. Drain the tomatoes and chop them finely.
Combine all ingredients, except the bread slices and the cheese, in a bowl and set aside for 1 hour at room temperature.
Toast the bread slices in the oven until lightly brown; cool slightly. Top with the tomato mixture. Sprinkle with Romano or Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
