I feel like it would have been better with the tomatoes cut up and the garlic minced. Not sure how the flavor was supposed to get anywhere with whole garlic and whole tomatoes. I wasn't a fan but would try it again and adjust to figure out how to make it better. I think I might have been disappointed because I was expecting something like basil/tomato/mozzarella bruschetta. To be fair, I didn't have the basil so maybe that's key!!
