White Bean Bruschetta image

This simple, rustic appetizer has terrific flavor and is a favorite with my family. I mentioned in the directions that I like to let the bean mixture sit for a bit, but that is not included in the prep time. This is a great starter for and Italian or Mediteranean style meal.

Time 10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup cannellini beans, cooked (white)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, shredded or chiffonade
1 -2 clove garlic, thinly sliced
salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste
6 slices crusty Italian bread, cut into 1 inch thick slices
more olive oil, to dress the bread
garlic, to dress the bread

Steps:

  • Preheat grill pan or broiler.
  • In a bowl, gently combine the beans, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, red pepper, basil and garlic.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • It's nice if the mixture can sit for a half an hour or so.
  • For the bread: I usually warm a clove or two of chopped garlic in some olive oil to infuse the flavor.
  • This can be done on the stovetop over VERY low heat, or in the microwave heated for about 30 seconds.
  • Add a couple shakes of salt and pepper, and brush garlic oil evenly over the bread slices.
  • Toast bread under the broiler, or on a grill pan for a few minutes (3-5), until slightly brown and crisp, or until there are grill marks.
  • Top the bread slices with the bean mixture and drizzle any extra balsamic/oil over the top.
  • This bruschetta is nice served with a tossed green salad.

This was a great way to use up some leftover white beans. I added some chopped spinach and artichoke hearts to the mixture, and it was even better!
