Tomato and Basil Bruschetta image

My first culinary "success." This recipe came from a great book _Cucina Amore_, and is often requested by friends and family.

Provided by BothFex

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 roma tomatoes, diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
8 slices Italian bread, cut about 1 inch thick
2 tablespoons grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Whisk together chopped garlic, vinegar, salt, pepper, and basil.
  • When combined slowly drizzle in oil.
  • Add tomatoes and let sit for 20 minutes at room temp.
  • Meanwhile back at the bat cave, toast the bread.
  • This can be done either in the toaster (if it's got really wide slots) or under the broiler (if using this method watch closely so it doesn't become a brickette).
  • When the bread is toasted rub each piece, on one side, with the whole garlic pieces.
  • Place the bread on a cookie sheet and top with tomato mixture.
  • Sprinkle on a little cheese and broil till the cheese melts (you can skip that last broiling bit and it's equally as wonderful).
  • Serve immediately.
  • The tomato mixture also makes a wonderful vinegrette for an antipasto salad.
  • Enjoy!

SOUTHERN TOMATO PIE



Southern Tomato Pie image

Tomato slices are juicy and mix in well with the creamy/cheesy "custard" in this Southern-inspired tomato pie. The blind baking method helps keep the crust nice and crunchy on the bottom.

Provided by Jasmine

Categories     Savory Pies

Time 2h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ (14.1 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts, at room temperature
3 medium tomatoes
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
½ cup mayonnaise
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 ½ cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 large clove garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh basil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Fit pie crust inside a 9-inch pie plate, pressing into the bottom and up the sides of the plate. Fold crust edges under; crimp as desired. Place a piece of parchment paper over crust in pie plate, leaving a 3-inch overhang. Fill with pie weights or dried beans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Carefully remove parchment paper and pie weights. Continue baking until crust is light golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack; cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Meanwhile, slice tomatoes crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices; arrange tomato slices in a single layer on paper towels. Sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon of the salt; let stand for 20 minutes. Pat tomato slices dry with paper towels.
  • Whisk together mayonnaise and cream cheese until combined and smooth. Fold in 1 1/4 cups Cheddar cheese, egg, flour, garlic, cayenne, black pepper, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt until combined.
  • Spread half of the Cheddar mixture in the pie crust. Layer with 1/3 of the tomato slices in slightly overlapping circles. Repeat procedure with remaining Cheddar mixture and another third of tomato slices. Top with remaining tomato slices in slightly overlapping circles. Sprinkle with Parmesan and remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake pie in the preheated oven until filling is set and lightly browned on top, 30 to 35 minutes, tenting crust with aluminum foil to prevent excess browning, if needed. Let stand for at least 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with thinly sliced basil before serving.

Tips:

  • Toast the bread until it is golden brown and crispy.
  • Use fresh basil for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • You can add other toppings to your bruschetta, such as grilled vegetables, cheese, or meats.
  • Serve bruschetta immediately after it is made, while the bread is still crispy.

Conclusion:

Tomato basil bruschetta is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It is perfect for parties or potlucks, and it is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a flavorful and satisfying dish that everyone will love.
