Fresh Roma Tomato, Basil & Oregano Bruschetta created by PaulaG

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!

Soooo good! I'm trying to cut down on flour and sugar, so I used the bruschetta as a filling for red and green peppers and baked them for 15min with mozza on top. Yum!
