Categories     appetizer

Time 27m

Yield 18 appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 large French baguette, sliced into 18 diagonal pieces and toasted
2 cups Bertolli® Vineyard Premium Collections Fire Roasted Tomato with Cabernet Sauvignon Sauce
1 bunch fresh basil
1 lb. breaded and cooked chicken cutlets or tenderloins, cut into thin slices
12 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Arrange bread slices on cookie sheet. Evenly spread with 1 cup Sauce, then layer basil, chicken, remaining 1 cup sauce and cheese. Bake 12 minutes or until cheese is melted and bruschetta is heated through. Garnish, if desired, with thinly sliced basil leaves.
  • Also terrific with Bertolli Vineyard Premium Collections Portobello Mushroom with Merlot Sauce

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: A good bruschetta starts with a good bread. Look for a sturdy bread that can hold up to the toppings without getting soggy. Ciabatta, baguette, and sourdough are all good choices.
  • Slice the bread properly: Cut the bread into 1-inch thick slices on a diagonal. This will give the bruschetta more surface area for the toppings.
  • Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it to crisp up and prevent it from getting soggy. You can toast the bread in a toaster oven, on a grill, or in a skillet.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The best bruschetta is made with fresh ingredients. Use ripe tomatoes, basil, and garlic. If you can, use homemade pesto. Fresh mozzarella cheese can also be used as a topping.
  • Don't overcrowd the bruschetta: When assembling the bruschetta, don't overcrowd it with toppings. You want each bite to have a balance of flavors.
  • Serve immediately: Bruschetta is best served immediately after it is made. This will prevent the bread from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

Parmesan bruschetta is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover bread and it is also a very versatile dish. You can customize it to your own liking by adding different toppings. Whether you like it classic with tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella or you want to try something different like grilled peaches or roasted peppers, bruschetta is a dish that everyone will enjoy.
