Roasted Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta

The heirloom tomatoes add such gorgeous colors and sweetness to this bruschetta. I love when simple ingredients are so full of flavor. There are a few different variations to Bruschetta, and this is just one of my versions. Start off a great meal with this bruschetta, or share as a light meal.
