Thanks for joining Sarah and me for Meatless Monday today. I just can’t seem to get enough of the all the tomatoes this summer. I am eating them in everything! I love the small sweet ones (yellow and red) both raw in salads and also cooked in stir fry meals and sauces. Sometimes I think I crave bowls of spaghetti with marinara sauce just so I can eat the sauce. Anyone else? Today, I have a simple yet incredibly delicious recipe that my family has been enjoying serving the past few weeks. This ridiculously easy Skillet Charred Tomato Bruschetta will have your whole family double dipping.
Skillet Charred Tomato Bruschetta
Honestly, you won’t believe how simple this Tomato Bruschetta is. You will need a nice sturdy cast iron skillet to start and some high quality extra virgin olive oil. I like to use a combination of yellow and red cherry tomatoes but any or either are fine. Add in a little fresh garlic, salt, pepper and basil and that’s it.
I know I could move to Italy and be one happy girl. I would live off of pasta and pizza and all things tomato all the time. But alas, that is probably not happening. Italian food is one thing all of our family members will eat so it’s our go to when want to cook a nice big family dinner. We originally prepared the Skillet Charred Tomato Bruschetta as a side to eat atop homemade bread. The next morning I made an omelet and topped it with the left over tomatoes and oh my goodness it was delicious.
Sometimes you just have to splurge on really good bread and this is how you should do it. Trust me. Your family will thank you. Hope you enjoy this super simple summer Skillet Charred Tomato Bruschetta. Pairs perfectly with just about any meal.
What are you splurging on these days? Would you like to dip into this?

My hubby LOVES tomatoes – he’d be all over this!
They are so good right now
Oh, I’m a sucker for a good bruschetta and I’m sure this way of cooking your tomatoes adds another layer of flavor! Beautiful and now I’m drooling thinking about this!
Oh good that was the idea 🙂
I’d totally dip into that! Tomatoes are everywhere right now…except in my garden thanks to way too much rain. I do have some coming along on the deck so it’s not a total loss.
Every year I say that I am going to have my own garden but it has not happened yet
My dad LOVES tomatoes, but I know he hasn’t tried them like this! I’m going to pass this recipe along to him 🙂
Thanks it’s super easy!
I have no desire to have the pasta, just give me fresh bread and load up the sauce!
I know it’s so goooood!
I think I could probably survive on bruschetta. I love the combination of flavors. This looks so good!
For some reason my inlinkz would not go through. It said there wasn’t a backlink, which of course there is (that’s how I got here lol!). I submitted anyway, but I guess you have to approve.
NO problem got it! And yes I could survive on tomatoes and bread too!
This looks simply delicious and just gave me an idea for switching things up camping next weekend since we already planned to use a skillet and cook up a bunch of veggies.
Happy Meatless Monday!
It would be great to do at your campfire. I bet you have the most gourmet camping food ever!
I’m with ya on eating the marinara sauce by itself. No pasta needed! This looks delicious. Cherry tomatoes are so good when cooked or roasted.
They sure are!
What a fun take on bruschetta! The tomatoes have been amazing this year.
I cannot seem to get enough of them!
I don’t eat a lot of tomatoes I guess because of the texture but these look and sound so good. Definitely going to make this!
I really hope you like them!
It’s THAT simple? Wow. I love bruschetta, but have never thought of making it myself. Thanks for another great recipe 😉
Probably the easiest recipe I have ever posted! Promise 🙂
yum! I have some cherry tomatoes I need to use and this looks like the perfect recipe for them.
definitely!
I most certainly could dip into that! YUM! and I like how you paired it with eggs the next day, great idea!
It was amazing on the eggs too
This looks so incredibly yummy! I just love tomatoes. I have 9 plants in my garden including a few heirloom varieties this year, and then 3 other plants on my deck. I’d bet we eat them at least 5 days a week!
I have never planted my own tomatoes but they are my favorite. It would be amazing to make this with all different types for sure
You should do it! If you don’t have garden space, they grow very nicely in containers on your deck or porch. It’s so wonderful to pick them fresh off the vine and just eat them!
Ah that sounds amazing! Thanks
We do a lot of bruschetta in the summer around here! Always so tasty!
Brilliant idea, but cooked tomatoes are so very much not my thing. I wish I liked them better because they are so delicious raw.
I like them every which way!
Yum! I’m enjoying my Mom’s tomatoes in salad and sauce – this is another great option.
I have been eating tomatoes every day they are so good right now
We had a wonderful bruschetta board the other night. I bet yours is just as amazing!
OH thanks it is pretty yum hope you try it
This looks perfect for all those cherry tomatoes I harvest in August! Yum!
Yes definitely! Let me know if you give it a try
I get SO pumped and excited when I see all the tomatoes at the farmers market and now I have an excuse to buy a whole bunch to make this recipe! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Is there anything better than fresh summer tomatoes? Yes! Charred one’s! Looks fab!

I’m not the biggest tomato fan, but this looks like an easy recipe to make for a party dish! I can’t wait to try it!
definitely easy!
It’s so easy!
I’m not a big fan of cherry tomatoes but any veggie is great roasted. It brings out a different flavor in them.
It sure does!
This looks sooo good! I love the flavours. This will be such a great addition to my breakfast. I love having veggies especially tomatoes in the morning.
I do too!
I’ll have to try making this while I’m visiting with my parents and sister this week. They will LOVE it! Thanks!
It’s so easy! Hope you all enjoy
I can’t wait to try this and it’s pinned for future reference, too! Thanks!
