Tip

Ripen Garden Tomatoes

To ripen green garden tomatoes, put them in brown paper bags. Don't stack too many in one bag, or they might get bruised. Check them every few days and remove the ripe ones. —Delia Kennedy, Deer Park, Washington

A good, easy recipe to use up the many tomatoes I have this year. I added some parmesan cheese on top one time, and another time I topped with shredded gruyere. Thanks!

As usual, I modify the recipe to suit our taste. I add finely chopped veggies that I have on hand, (cucumber, green pepper, onion...) I have never tried baked/broiled, bruschetta, I cook mine in some margarine in a skillet. Then add the toppings...

I crush the garlic and add to the bowl with other ingredients.It is fine even without the basil leaf on top.

Have made this for years-one of my favorites. Usually serve it as a cookout appetizer.

Amazing coincidence. I made this very recipe last weekend. My ingredient portions were identical those shown in the recipe but I added a couple of other ingredients that I believe really MADE the recipe. To the tomato mixture, I added 2 minced cloves of garlic and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar. Try it, you'll love it!!
