Beans And Greens Bruschetta With Broiled Goat Cheese Recipes

BLISTERED GRAPE AND GOAT CHEESE BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Brush both sides of all bread slices with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Toast on a grill pan over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Turn each slice 90 degrees on the same side and cook for another minute so your bread chars with beautiful crisscross grill marks. Flip over and repeat. Rub each slice of hot bread with the cut garlic clove as it comes off the grill.
• Meanwhile, add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil to a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the red grapes and saute until warm and softened, about 3 minutes. Add the green grapes and toss just to warm. Remove to a bowl.
• Add the sage leaves to the hot oil and fry until crisp, 15 to 20 seconds. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Spread 2 tablespoons of the chevre over one side of each piece of toast, covering completely. Top with a mound of warm grapes on top. Sprinkle a bit of sea salt and a few grinds of pepper over the grapes. Top with a sage leaf. Zest the lemon generously over the top of each slice.

SKILLET BRUSCHETTA WITH BEANS AND GREENS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Brush bread on both sides with 4 tablespoons oil total. Working in 2 batches, cook bread, pressing occasionally to help crisp, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Season toast with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Increase heat to medium-high and heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to blister, about 3 minutes. Using a spoon, lightly mash about half of the beans. Add kale and broth and cook, tossing often, until kale is wilted, about 2 minutes. Add lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.
• Serve beans and greens mixture over toast, drizzled with oil.

GOAT CHEESE AND WHITE BEAN BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degree Fahrenheit.
• In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the beans, tomatoes, basil, garlic, vinegar and 2 tbsps olive oil. Season with pepper to taste.
• Place bread on large baking sheet and brush with pastry brush using the remaining oil. Bake, watching closely, until bread is toasted and golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove bread from the oven and spread the softened goat cheese over each slice. Top with tomato bean mixture.
• Serve immediately.

BRUSCHETTA WITH OVEN ROASTED BEETS AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
• Rub dirt off beets with paper towel, and put beets in tightly sealed casserole, and bake for 60 to 90 minutes until tender.
• Cool beets, peel them, cut off stem and roots, and cut into small cubes (about 1/4 inch).
• Put beets into medium bowl, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, green onion, vinegar, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
• In a small bowl, mix together goat cheese and water.
• Preheat broiler.
• Put bread onto a cookie sheet, lightly brush more olive oil onto fronts and backs of bread, and toast both sides under your broiler.
• Cut open your garlic clove and smear some garlic onto one side of bread.
• Spread goat cheese onto the garlic side, top with beet mixture, and serve at room temperature.

GRILLED ARTICHOKE, GREEN GARLIC, AND GOAT CHEESE BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Combine oil, garlic bulbs, and rosemary in a small saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium. Reduce heat to low; simmer until garlic is golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool.
• Squeeze 2 lemon halves into a large bowl of water; add rinds. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, remove tough outer leaves closest to stem end, then trim pointy tips of remaining outer leaves with kitchen shears. With a serrated knife, cut off top 1 inch; with a paring knife, trim and peel stem. (Transfer to lemon water as you work to prevent discoloration.)
• Set a steamer basket in a large pot; add enough water to reach just below basket and bring to a boil. Squeeze remaining 2 lemon halves into pot. Add artichokes, season with salt, and cover. Steam until hearts are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let stand until cool enough to handle, then cut in half lengthwise and scoop out and discard fuzzy chokes.
• Strain infused oil; discard rosemary. Mash garlic bulbs into a paste and stir into goat cheese with 1/4 cup infused oil, green garlic tops, and red-pepper flakes. Season with salt.
• Heat grill to high. Brush artichokes with infused oil; season with salt. Grill, brushing with more oil and turning a few times, until charred in places, 8 to 10 minutes. Grill bread, turning once, until charred in places, 1 to 2 minutes. Lightly brush bread with infused oil.
• Remove artichoke leaves from bottoms; cut bottoms into slices and reserve leaves for eating separately. Slather grilled bread with goat-cheese mixture and top with sliced artichokes. Drizzle with more infused oil, sprinkle with more red-pepper flakes and green garlic tops, and serve.

GOAT CHEESE AND LIMA BEAN BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place bread slices on a baking pan. Toast until tops are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Turn, and toast until golden brown on other side, 10 minutes more.
• Remove the baking pan from the oven. Spread goat cheese over each slice of bread.
• Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil, and prepare an ice bath. Add lima beans to the boiling water, and cook until bright green, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beans to ice bath, and let cool. Drain beans in a colander.
• Arrange beans on the bruschetta. Sprinkle with thyme and pepper; serve.
