Slice a French baguette or other crusty bread into 1-inch thick slices.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup Kraft fat-free zesty Italian dressing (or your favorite Italian dressing), 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano.
Brush the dressing mixture generously over each slice of bread, ensuring both sides are coated.
Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
