Roasted Vine-Ripened Roma Tomato Bruschetta
These simple bruschetta can be put together in a few minutes once the tomatoes have been slow-roasted. Lovely for an impromptu gathering or a quick lunch.
Traditionally, I would brush sliced french bread with olive oil and toast in the oven until golden before scraping a peeled garlic clove on the toasted bread.
This time I opted for a quicker method and toasted the bread in the toaster before spreading it with amazingly good creamy blue cheese and topping it with a delectable roasted vine-ripened tomato and a sprinkling of fresh basil.
