EASY BLISTERED TOMATO BRUSCHETTA
In just 15 minutes, you can have the perfect tomato bruschetta with warm tomatoes, fresh basil, and tangy balsamic glaze. I used a French baguette in this recipe, but ciabatta would work as well. Pro tip: Day-old, slightly stale bread works great for bruschetta to provide a sturdy base for the delicious toppings! Be sure to brush your chosen bread with olive oil and briefly grill both sides to turn the bread perfectly crunchy.

Steps:
- In a large nonstick pan, heat 2-3 tbsp EVOO over medium heat until shimmering. Add in the tomatoes and let them cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. (Use a splash guard for safety as the tomatoes will begin to pop in the oil.)
- Add the garlic and season with kosher salt and black pepper. Toss around a bit. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the tomatoes are cooking, slice the French baguette on the diagonal into ½-inch slices. Brush the bread on one side with a little extra virgin olive oil.
- Heat up a cast-iron pan or griddle on high heat. Once the pan is heated, arrange the bread onto the pan, olive oil side down. If you cannot fit all the bread onto the cast-iron pan, warm the bread in batches.
- Brush the top of the bread with extra virgin olive oil. Once the bottom side is golden brown with some darker edges, flip the bread. The bread will take about 2 minutes per side, depending on how hot your pan is.
- Move the bread to a serving platter. Spoon blistered tomatoes onto each piece of bread. Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze over (optional) and a sprinkle of basil.

BLISTERED TOMATO DRESSING
A vinaigrette can be as simple as an emulsion of oil and vinegar, but a memorable one carries flavors that hint at the season. This one, featuring charred tomatoes, is perfect for summer. Blistering fresh tomatoes deepens their acidic sweetness. Made with sherry vinegar and olive oil, the dressing is at once earthy and bright.

Steps:
- Heat a broiler to high. Place the tomatoes on a sheet pan and broil until the skin is charred and peeling, about 6 minutes. Flip and char the other sides until the tomatoes are soft and begin to release some of their moisture, about 5 minutes. If using cherry tomatoes, blister without turning until the tomatoes char, collapse and release their moisture, about 10 minutes.
- When the whole tomatoes are cool enough to handle, transfer them to a board and coarsely chop. (Skip this step if you used cherry tomatoes.) Transfer the tomatoes with their juices to a medium bowl. Add the shallot, sherry vinegar, red-pepper flakes, if using, and the salt and pepper. Stir in the olive oil. Taste and add more vinegar and salt if necessary.
- Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Serve as a dressing over cooked leafy greens, green salads, grain salads, roasted or grilled vegetables, meat and fish.
