Prosciutto Bruschetta

1 loaf (1 lb) baguette French bread, cut into 30 (1/4-inch) slices
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil

1/2 lb thinly sliced prosciutto (from deli)
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
4 plum (Roma) tomatoes, thinly sliced
Bottled Bruschetta (such as Bellino or another brand)
