Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, pour enough boiling water over the tomatoes to cover and set aside until softened, about 20 minutes. Pour off the water and coarsely chop tomatoes. Place in a mixing bowl. Chop roasted peppers and add to tomatoes, along with garlic, basil, and black pepper.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Place bread slices on a baking sheet and bake until crisp and lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Spoon tomato mixture onto slices of toasted bread. Serve immediately.
