ANCHOVY & SUN-DRIED TOMATO BRUSCHETTA
I was looking at Dorothy Parks Crostini recipe (it's very good) and thought no I'll add a few ingredients and make bruschettas. This recipe is the result of guess and by golly and by golly it is good (my opinion). The nice thing is if you plan it right they take seconds to put together before serving. Make the toasts well in advance and the spread the day before. I store my opened Sun dried tomatoes in oil in the fridge - If you do this too use the congealed olive oil in the jar to brush on the toast MM

Steps:
- Slice the bread and very lightly paint with the olive oil and toast (dry) the slices in the oven 300°F for approx 20 minutes or until the slices are crisp dried.
- I do this well in advance and keep the dried toasts in an air tight container so you always have some on hand, or you can buy ready made ones.
- In your food processor or hand held chopper attachment put in: sun dried tomatoes, anchovies,garlic salt& pepper, and hot sauce.
- Chop until you have a very fine spreadable mixture, let stand for at least 1/2 hour.
- I make mine up a few hours in advance.
- Spread the mixture on the dry toasts.
- Top with fresh chopped tomato.
- Sprinkle with cheese of your choice.
- Place in 375°F oven for approx 15 minutes or until heated through and the cheese is golden.

Tips:
- Choose ripe and flavorful tomatoes. Sun-dried tomatoes are a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use the best ones you can find. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have a sweet, slightly tangy flavor.
- Don't overcook the anchovies. Anchovies can quickly become tough and chewy, so it's important to cook them just until they are opaque. About 1 minute per side is usually sufficient.
- Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil is another important ingredient in this recipe, so it's worth investing in a good one. Look for an olive oil that is extra virgin and has a fruity, peppery flavor.
- Toast the bread before assembling the bruschetta. Toasting the bread will help it to stand up to the toppings and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Assemble the bruschetta just before serving. This will help to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
This anchovy sun-dried tomato bruschetta is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's made with just a few simple ingredients and can be assembled in minutes.
