Garlic Tomato Bruschetta Recipes

BRUSCHETTA WITH TOMATOES, BASIL, GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL

• For the toasted bread, drizzle the oil over the ciabatta and sprinkle over the salt. Heat a griddle pan until smoking and chargrill the bread for 2-4 minutes on each side, or until golden-brown and toasted. Remove from the pan and rub each slice of toast with the cut-side of half a garlic clove.
• For the tomato topping, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well, then season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• To serve, pile the tomato mixture on top of the toasted bread.

GARLIC BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Separate the cloves of garlic from the heads and place in an ovenproof dish. Drizzle 1 ounce of olive oil over the unpeeled cloves and roast for 25 minutes until soft. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
• Quarter the tomatoes, remove the seeds, and dice. Finely chop the basil and oregano.
• Halve the baguette lengthwise and toast until golden. Peel the skin off of the garlic cloves. Mash the softened garlic and spread on toasted bread. Cut the baguette into diagonal pieces.
• Mix the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and another ounce of olive oil together. Spoon the tomato mixture evenly over the garlic baguette pieces. Top each piece with one slice of goat cheese and drizzle the remaining olive oil over the goat cheese and tomatoes.
• To serve, garnish with sprigs of fresh basil and serve immediately.

TOMATO BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the onions, tomatoes, garlic and basil, taking care not to mash or break up the tomatoes too much. Add the balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix again. Cover and chill for at least an hour. This will allow the flavours to soak and blend together.
• Slice the baguette loaf diagonally into 12 thick slices and lightly toast them until they are light brown on both sides. Serve the mixture on the warm slices of bread. If you prefer the mixture at room temperature, remove from the fridge half an hour before serving.
