Fresh Summer Tomato Bruschetta

These classic Italian tomato-topped toasts should be made only when tomatoes are at the peak of their season; the rest of the year, it's better to try my awesome oven-roasted recipe using canned tomatoes. The secret to this version is to use a mix of ripe heirloom varieties, and rub the garlic on the toasts instead of folding it into the tomatoes for a more even and less harsh garlic flavor.

Roasted Tomatoes

One of the best ways to transform out-of-season fresh and canned tomatoes into something great is to slow-roast them in a low oven until their excess water has evaporated and their flavor is intense and concentrated. Use them diced or whole in pan sauces, vinaigrettes, sandwiches, quick pastas, bean or grain salads, and more.

Crostini With Blistered Cherry Tomatoes, Burrata and Chive Oil

The building blocks of a classic Caprese salad are re-imagined in these summery toasts. First, cherry tomatoes are blistered in a skillet until bursting with juice. Then creamier burrata takes the place of the more standard mozzarella. And in place of basil leaves, a quick and easy chive oil adds an herbal accent. The result makes for a great snack or light meal.
