Golden Tomato Bruschetta W/ Gorgonzola & Balsamic Syrup

Submitted by Kozmic Blues

"I grew "Golden Boy" tomatoes in my garden this year. If you are not familiar with that variety, they are wonderfully sweet and are an amazing shade of orangey-yellow! I threw this dish together one night all from bits and pieces I had leftover in the fridge. I toasted the bread plain, but feel free to grill ot toast it with a little olive oil and garlic. Also, shredded fresh basil leaves would be a nice addition as well."

Nice simple recipe. I like a crispy toast so I start with a very hard French bread slice it fairly thin and place it under the broiler until quite well toasted. As soon as it cools a little, take a raw clove of garlic and rub across top of the toasted bread before covering with the rest of the goodness.
