GOLDEN TOMATO BRUSCHETTA W/ GORGONZOLA & BALSAMIC SYRUP



Golden Tomato Bruschetta W/ Gorgonzola & Balsamic Syrup image

I grew "Golden Boy" tomatoes in my garden this year. If you are not familiar with that variety, they are wonderfully sweet and are an amazing shade of orangey-yellow! I threw this dish together one night all from bits and pieces I had leftover in the fridge. I toasted the bread plain, but feel free to grill ot toast it with a little olive oil and garlic. Also, shredded fresh basil leaves would be a nice addition as well.
