Fresh Roma Tomato, Basil & Oregano Bruschetta
This is a great appetizer, or accompaniment to any pasta dish, especially when made with vine ripened roma tomatoes. It is best with fresh herbs, but you can substitute dried in a pinch. I have experimented over the years with several different bruschetta recipes and finally came up with this version. The final result is definitely worth the work!
