- Tomato and
Cheese Bruschetta
- (Bruschetta con Pomodoro e Formaggio)
-
|
-
- Grill the bread,
slice the tomatoes and add salt and pepper an hour in
advance, then assemble these little sandwich bites in
minutes after guests arrive.
-
-
- Ingredients:
-
1 cup (about 8 ounces) very ripe cherry tomatoes (See
Note)
Salt and pepper
Four (5 x 3 inch) slices of peasant bread, cut 1/2 inch thick
Extra virgin olive oil
2/3 cup mixed grated cheese, such as Parmigiano
Directions:
-
- Cut each tomato in half or thirds and place
in small bowl.
-
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Set
aside.
-
- Brush bread slices lightly with olive oil
and grill or broil until just starting to turn color, about 30
seconds.
-
- Using a slotted spoon, top each slice with
about 1/4 cup (or whatever fits) tomatoes and then sprinkle
each slice with about 2 heaping tablespoons cheese.
-
- Return to broiler or grill and cook until
cheese melts. Cut each slice into eight pieces and serve.
Serves 8 to 10.
-
- Note: If ripe tomatoes are not available,
use sun-dried tomatoes, patted dry and cut into bite-sized
pieces. Or use commercially made tomato tapenade. Fresh
tomatoes are best, though.
