Tomato Crack Recipe

Ok, if you are reading this and you are coming here because you clicked the link on my YouTube video then PLEASE grant me one request!!!! If you use this recipe, you MUST shoot a response video chronicling your experience making Tomato Crack.  It doesn't have to be a play-by-play like mine.  Maybe you just show what your final product looks like.  I don't care how extensive the video is! I just wanna know that people out there tried it!! :)

Also, here is the link to the video where I make this dish if you want a visual step-by-step presentation on how to make this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNvi3gZ4q5M 

Ingredients:
Grape Tomatos
Garlic Clove
Olive Oil
Fresh Basil
Garlic Salt (Optional)
Bread Loaf

1) OPTIONAL!!! I choose to cut off the tops of the tomatoes.  I don't like the hard little parts on the top of them in my final product.  So I just slice them off individually into a trash can first.

2) Place these tomatoes on a cookie sheet or something similar.

3) Peel the skin off of the garlic and place is on the pan/sheet with the tomatoes

4) Preheat the oven to 350 and set the pan/sheet in the oven for about 30 min.  This is an estimate.  What you are really looking for is the tomatoes the get really mushy.  Poke them with a knife to test this.  When they seem to be very soft, take them out.

5) Scoop out all the tomatoes and place them in a bowl.  This is where you will take a spoon or any other utensil you see fit and smash the tomatoes until you get the consistency you like. (You are looking for something similar to salsa)

6) Dice up the garlic into small pieces and mix it all into the bowl with the tomatoes.

7) Slice the fresh basil into small strands and mix in as much as you see fit into your bowl.

8) OPTIONAL!!! Add some garlic salt.  As much as you see fit.

9) Slice up the loaf of bread into pieces that are fit for dipping/scooping.

10) Enjoy :)
