I chose this recipe for a quick Sunday lunch along with a simple salad. I didn't have fresh basil, portobellos, or baby tomatoes, so I used dried Italian seasoning (I was out of dried basil, too!, baby bella mushrooms, and Roma tomatoes. The substitutions were out of necessity but make the recipe less expensive, too. Most importantly, it was delicious!

Great recipe! Very fresh and lots of flavor!
I added extra basil and ground black pepper to the tomato relish. I had quite a bit of tomato relish left over so I made a few extra garlic toasts and served a few more without the portabello mushrooms.

Awesome recipe as is. However I love to experiment, and omitted the balsamic vineagar in the relish. Made a reduced balsamic and drizzled that over the finished toast. Yum!!! It is definitely a recipe that disappears quickly!
