Cherry Tomato Bruschetta Instructions:All you need to do for this easy appetizer recipe is first, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Then, cut the bread into 16 to 20 1/2-inch thick slices.
Next, place the bread slices on a cookie sheet in the oven and toast for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden in color and crisp to the touch. Remove them from the oven and place the toasted bread on platter.
Make sure you wash the tomatoes and dry well, removing any stems if they are vine-ripened tomatoes. Then, cut the cherry tomatoes in half through stem ends.
Next, heat 5 tablespoons of the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring often, until they are softened (should take about 5 minutes.) Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Finally, spoon the tomato mixture onto the toasted bread and drizzle with remaining garlic-flavored oil.
