Here is a slight variation on one of the tastiest-looking movie meals, which was inspired by the film Julie and Julia. The heirloom tomato mixture should not be combined with the bread unless you and your guests are ready to enjoy the bruschetta right away since it will get soggy. Serve the bread on a separate serving dish and the tomato sauce in a separate bowl. You should be ready to get a little messy!

This was very good! I only used the chopped garlic. I did not add the sliced garlic and it was still very good!!!! Yes it will get messy but it is so good a definite summer treat when the tomatoes of the season are in full swing!
