Cilantro Pesto Bruschetta with Parmesan

I was trying to come up with something to serve with my chili the other day, and this came to mind.  It is super easy to make and is a unique blend of flavors with the freshness of the cilantro and rich sharp taste of the Parmesan.  It falls under the semi-homemade category, but you could easily make your own pesto and call it your own!

Servings:  10-15 slices depending on the size of the loaf

Fresh Ciabatta loaf (the long narrow ones, not the ones used for sandwiches)
1/2 container of Cilantro Pesto from Whole Foods
1/4 cup of freshly shaved Parmesan cheese
15 cherry tomatoes - quartered

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice Ciabatta loaf into into 1/2 inch thick slices.  Spread cilantro pesto on bread.  Top with cherry tomatoes and Parmesan cheese.  Arrange on a baking sheet that is coated lightly with cooking spray.  Bake for 5 minutes until tomatoes are heated through and bread is crispy.  Remove and serve immediately.
