Ingredients

2 pints grape tomatoes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 loaf sesame semolina bread
2 cloves garlic, halved
4 scallions, finely chopped
1/2 cup basil leaves, thinly sliced

Directions

Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Coat the tomatoes in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast 20 minutes to concentrate the flavor and burst the tomatoes.

Cut 2 large "planks" of bread each 1-inch thick by slicing the bread lengthwise horizontally. Reserve the rest of the loaf for another use.

When you remove the tomatoes from the oven, switch on broiler. Char bread on both sides then rub hot bread with cut garlic.

In a bowl, lightly mash the roasted tomatoes and combine with scallions and basil. Top the large planks with tomato mixture then cut each giant crostini into 4 pieces, 8 pieces total.

Loved it!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love Rachael and her recipes! And this one doesn't disappoint! I did make a few changes the second time I made this. I... added flat leaf parsley for one. Also, my husband and I are huge garlic lovers so I used garlic infused evoo when roasting the tomatoes and brushed the planks with it after toasting it. It definitely had more of a garlic flavor that way! A great recipe and certainly worth a try! Read more

Husband Loved This!!!!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I watch the shows on Food Network for ideas for others rather than just having the mundane. When I mixed this up and put it... in the bread plank. The look too me was that there were too much herbs. I added fresh mozzarella and my husband just loved it! He couldn't get enough and asked me to make again. Thanks Rachel!Read more

Too Mushy?
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I think I should have let the tomatoes cool slightly - I used cherry and my topping was a bit to "saucy". I felt like I... should have had some crushed garlic in with the tomatoes, etc. I added the flat leaf and skipped the mint because I remember Racheal added it on the episode I watched.Read more

Missing Ingredients
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Delicious recipe, however, TV ingredients included mint and flat leaf parsley. These are definite "Must-haves" in the... bruschetta.Read more

Good but missing something
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was really good and you get a nice product for little effort. But, I feel like it's missing some kind of layer of... flavor. I think next time I will put a slice of fresh mozzarella onto the bread and stick it under the broiler again. Though, the tomato topping might slide around on the cheese. Overall, nice for little effort and really loved how juicy the tomato topping was.Read more

Awesome
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used cherry tomatoes instead of grape, and shallots instead of scallions. I brushed the crostini with EVOO before the... garlic and it kept them from getting too soggy. The tomatoes get juicy after roasting so I let them sit in a colander for 5 minutes.. Excellent recipe that I plan on making again next week for a birthday party. Read more
