Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best flavor. Ripe tomatoes will be red and juicy, with no green spots.
- Use a good quality bread that you enjoy. A crusty bread will hold up well to the tomato and cheese.
- Don't overload the bread with toppings. You want to be able to taste all of the flavors.
- Bake the bread until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Serve the bread warm or at room temperature. It's also delicious the next day.
