Notes

Pronunciation: broo-SKET-ta (not broo-SHET-ta). The 'ch' makes a 'k' sound in Italian.
Ripe tomatoes: This only works with great tomatoes. Off-season, don't bother.
Salt the tomatoes: Salt draws out moisture and intensifies flavor. Do this first.
Top just before serving: Topping too early = soggy bread.
Variations: Add fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
