Roasted Tomato Bruschetta

Roasted Tomato Bruschetta

If you have never made bruschetta with slow-roasted tomatoes, you are seriously missing out. This is one of those appetizers that looks fancy but comes together so simply, and once you taste the difference between fresh and roasted tomatoes on bruschetta you will never go back. I first made this for a Kansas City summer cookout and it disappeared faster than anything else on the table.
