How could you possibly make a great bruschetta even better? Using the BEST tomatoes possible.. which for me are heirloom tomatoes from my local farmer’s market. And why not use beautiful yellow ones for an even more unique version of this classic appetizer! And by appetizer I mean I totally so many that it qualified as my entire lunch…
