Time 40m

Yield 8 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 small eggplant (about 6 inches long) (about 12 ounces)
1/4 cup olive oil plus 1 tablespoon, plus more for brushing the bread
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes (about 15)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 small shallot, thinly sliced (about 3 tablespoons)
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
One loaf sliced sourdough, country bread or baguette
1 cup marinated artichokes, drained and chopped
Zest of 1/2 lemon (about 1/2 teaspoon)
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Slice the eggplant lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices on a mandoline if you have one. Put the eggplant in a medium bowl and add 1 tablespoon oil and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat.
  • Grill the eggplant in batches until there are grill marks, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and grill until there are grill marks and the eggplant softens and is no longer white, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining eggplant.
  • Grill the tomatoes on each side until they begin to pop, 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a medium bowl. Turn off the heat.
  • To make the vinaigrette, put the vinegar, mustard, sugar, shallots, garlic, pinch salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup oil while whisking continuously until emulsified. Add the basil, oregano and thyme; set aside.
  • Preheat the grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the bread slices with oil on both sides and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until the bread is crusty and you see grill marks, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Put the artichokes in a large bowl. Chop up the cooled eggplant. Remove the cherry tomato skins if desired; they should come right off. Halve or quarter the tomatoes and add to the bowl. Add the lemon zest and half of the vinaigrette and toss together. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
  • Top each piece of grilled bread with 3 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture and some crumbled feta if desired.

GRILLED BRUSCHETTA

This is my go-to appetizer in the summer when tomatoes and basil are fresh from the garden. The balsamic glaze takes this bruschetta recipe over the top. I like to use a Tuscan herb- or basil-infused olive oil for this. But, it's great with just plain olive oil, too. -Brittany Allyn, Mesa, Arizona

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread that can hold up to the toppings is best. A baguette, ciabatta, or sourdough bread are good options.
  • Grill the vegetables: Grilling the vegetables gives them a smoky flavor and helps to caramelize them. You can grill the vegetables in a grill pan or on an outdoor grill.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a pop of flavor to the bruschetta. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use less of them as they are more concentrated.
  • Add a drizzle of olive oil: A drizzle of olive oil adds richness and flavor to the bruschetta. You can use any type of olive oil that you like, but extra virgin olive oil is the best choice.
  • Serve immediately: Bruschetta is best served immediately after it is made. The bread will become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Grilled vegetable bruschetta is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its smoky grilled vegetables, fresh herbs, and tangy cheese, this bruschetta is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty snack or appetizer, give grilled vegetable bruschetta a try.
