Roasted Tomato Brushetta

My hubby and I are lovers of basil, I know I have stated that several times before but it bears repeating. We can not grow enough basil for it to sustain us, between bruschetta, pesto and all our other favorite Italian dishes, we always fall short. But thank goodness, fresh basil is something that is found in most grocery stores so we do not have to go without. This dish of Roasted Tomato Bruschetta uses our recipe for Slow Roasted Tomatoes to add an intense flavor and is perfect for a late night snack or the start of a romantic dinner at home.
