Directions
For the tomatoes:
Preheat oven to 300°F.
Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle each half with some garlic oil, sprinkle some oregano and salt.
Roast for 2 hours.
When cool enough to handle, coarsely chop the tomatoes and transfer (with juices) to a big serving bowl.
For the baguette:
Just before serving, preheat oven to 350°F.
Arrange bread on a baking sheet and brush with some of the remaining garlic oil.
Bake until slightly crispy, but not hard, about 3 minutes per side.
Allow to cool 1 to 2 minutes.
For serving:
Place the toasted baguette, sliced ham and the bowl of tomato mixture for spreading on a large platter.
Serve.
