Provided by PalatablePastime

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 12 appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
12 slices Italian bread or 12 slices French bread, 3/4 inch thick
12 sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup fresh basil leaf
extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Slice your bread, if you have not done so already; place them on a baking sheet which you have lined with aluminum foil (just in case something falls off and tries to burn).
  • Place the bread under the broiler and toast until light golden; remove.
  • Turn the bread over, place the bread under the broiler and toast just until the bread firms slightly but not golden yet; remove.
  • Brush the lighter side with olive oil (you may decline this if you are using tomatoes packed in oil, but it's your choice).
  • On top of that lay out some basil leaves to cover the top of the bread.
  • Mince the sun-dried tomatoes and sprinkle on top of the basil; I use regular dried on mine that are still pliant like raisins; if yours are hard you may need to have soaked them in warm water in advance and squeezed dry then mince; but you can do that now, no biggie.
  • On top of the tomatoes sprinkle a generous amount of goat cheese and tap down so it doesn't fall off.
  • If you like you can add a pinch of sea salt but I didn't.
  • Place the bruschettas under the broiler and toast just until the cheese starts to soften and the edges get nice and brown; serve.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 1/2-inch-thick slices Italian or French bread (from about 3-inch-diameter loaf)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large garlic clove, halved
6 plum tomatoes, seeded, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
4 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Arrange bread slices on baking sheet. Brush olive oil over both sides of bread. Bake bread until golden, about 6 minutes per side. Remove toasts from oven. Rub cut sides of garlic over toasts.
  • Combine seeded plum tomatoes and fresh lemon juice in medium bowl. Season with generous amount of salt and pepper. Toss tomatoes to combine. (Toasts and tomatoes can be prepared 1 hour ahead. Cover separately and keep at room temperature.)
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread goat cheese over toasts; arrange on baking sheet. Mound tomatoes on toasts, dividing equally. Bake until heated through, about 8 minutes. Transfer bruschetta to platter. Sprinkle with mint.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread for your bruschetta. A sturdy bread like a baguette or ciabatta will hold up well to the toppings.
  • Brush the bread with olive oil and toast it until it is golden brown and crispy.
  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the topping. Dice the tomatoes into small pieces so that they are easy to eat.
  • Use a soft, creamy goat cheese for the topping. Spread the goat cheese on the toasted bread before adding the tomatoes.
  • Add some fresh herbs to the topping, such as basil, mint, or oregano. This will add flavor and color to the bruschetta.
  • Drizzle the bruschetta with olive oil and balsamic vinegar before serving.
