Categories Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 12 appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

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

Ingredients

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.
