Preheat the broiler. Place the bread cut side up on baking sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Place on a large serving platter. In large bowl combine the remaining ingredients; mix well until blended, and then spoon over the toasted bread. Cut & serve.
For fewer calories, spray the cut slices of bread with a flavored cooking oil spray like PAM Garlic flavor.
