Roasted Ugly Heirloom Tomatoes on Toast

It’s our spin on bruschetta.

Don’t be fooled by Hepworth Farms’ ugly tomatoes. Their juicy sweet flavor is so delicious that we eat them like apples—we bite right into them. However, if raw tomatoes aren’t your style, we’ve sliced and roasted them on some tinfoil to bring our their flavor even more. The simpler the better with these flavorful beauties—erm, uglies?
