I left the tomatoes in the oven for 23min & it was too long, maybe I cut them a bit thin. Still came out absolutely delicious

I followed this recipe exactly. It tasted very good but my problem was roasting the tomatoes in the oven. I sliced two tomatoes and sprinkled 3 tbsp olive oil over the tomatoes. The large amount of oil caused all this smoke in the house and an acrid smell of burning, the type that stings your eyes. It also messed up my newly cleaned oven with spatters of oil everywhere. Now I have to clean the oven again or it’s going to smell every time I cook something in it. It tasted good but not good enough for the mess it caused.

Followed the recipe except I used fresh basil instead of dill for garnish. It was a hit with everyone.

Simple ingredients with big flavor! I used a sprouted grain bread and omitted the salt on the bread after browning. I didn’t think there would be enough garlic flavor with rubbing the clove on the bread, but too much garlic would ruin this. The rub gave it a perfect hint of garlic. Make sure to scorch the tomatoes using convection roast if you have that option. That is where the flavor comes from. These were good hot and at room temp. Dill is optional in my opinion.

This was a delicious appetizer and looked very nice on the serving plate. I wasn’t sure about dill with these ingredients but I loved the flavour! My only comment is next time I wouldn’t cook the tomato for so long. Mine ended up being a bit too mushy. I will definitely make this again!
