Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta

Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta

Inspired by the Julie and Julia motion picture, here is a little twist on one of the most the delicious-looking recipes to grace the movie screen! Unless you and your guests are prepared to eat the bruschetta immediately, I suggest keeping the heirloom tomato mixture separate from the bread because it will become soggy. Serve the tomato mixture in one bowl and the bread on another serving platter. Be prepared to get a little messy!

Directions

Step 1
Toss heirloom tomatoes with chopped basil, truffle oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

    This was very good! I only used the chopped garlic. I did not add the sliced garlic and it was still very good!!!! Yes it will get messy but it is so good a definite summer treat when the tomatoes of the season are in full swing!
