CHEESE & OLIVE BRUSCHETTA



Cheese & Olive Bruschetta image

I've never had anyone turn these down. They are so easy to make and the results are always good. Try these after the game or after a winter outdoors event. I have been told that the recipe was originally from a Company's Coming cook book- I am not sure where I found it. I love Company's Coming cookbooks so that is likely where I saw it.

TOMATO BRUSCHETTA



Tomato Bruschetta image

This classic recipe is for lazy summer days that beg for moving slowly and snacking often. Chop tomatoes, place them in a colander, shower them with salt, then make yourself a drink or go for a swim. The longer they drain, the better they'll be. This bruschetta gets better as it sits for a bit, so make it up to an hour ahead. While most bruschetta recipes have you rub a raw garlic clove on toasted bread, this one calls for making a quick infused oil that's stirred into the tomatoes and basil, providing a more delicate garlicky note. Pile it all on toasted bread, and enjoy bite after juicy bite.

Categories     easy, snack, dips and spreads, finger foods, appetizer

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound plum tomatoes (about 4 to 5 large), or another variety of ripe tomatoes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, minced
8 large basil leaves
Grilled or toasted crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Core and chop the tomatoes, then transfer to a colander over a bowl or in the sink. Add the salt and gently stir. Let drain for up to 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the garlic oil: In a small saucepan, warm the olive oil and garlic over low heat until the garlic is softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes, making sure the garlic doesn't brown. Set aside to cool.
  • Roll the basil leaves up and thinly slice crosswise.
  • When the oil is cool and the tomatoes are well drained, combine the tomatoes, garlic oil and basil in a medium bowl. Season with additional salt, to taste. Spoon over toasted bread.

MUSHROOM AND OLIVE BRUSCHETTA



Mushroom and Olive Bruschetta image

I tried this delicious bruschetta toast at a party and knew I had to make it myself. Since I couldn't find the person who brought the dish, I began trying to duplicate it on my own. The original was made on an English muffin, but party rye or baguette slices work as well. -Lynne German, Woodland Hills, California

BRUSCHETTA WITH HEIRLOOM TOMATOES, OLIVES AND BASIL



Bruschetta with Heirloom Tomatoes, Olives and Basil image

In this summery bruschetta, briny olives and a splash of balsamic vinegar liven up the classic tomato and basil topping.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Appetizers

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 (about 18 pieces)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1½ lbs ripe tomatoes (preferably heirloom), cored and diced (3 to 4 tomatoes)
¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives, finely chopped
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
¼ cup finely chopped fresh basil, plus more for serving
¼ teaspoon salt
A few grinds freshly ground black pepper
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 good quality baguette, cut into scant ½-in-thick slices on the bias
1 clove garlic, halved lengthwise

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and set a rack in the middle position.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, olives, balsamic vinegar, basil, salt, pepper, and ⅓ cup of the oil. Toss to combine, then taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. (If the tomatoes aren't as sweet as you'd like, add ⅛ teaspoon sugar.)
  • Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet. Brush both sides of the bread with the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil. Bake for about 10 minutes, until crisp and golden on the bottom.
  • Using tongs, flip the bread slices so the golden side is facing up. Rub the top side of each slice with the cut side of the garlic, going back and forth once (or twice, if you like your bruschetta extra garlicky). Transfer the toasted bread to a serving platter and top each slice with a spoonful of the tomato mixture. Sprinkle the bruschetta with more basil. Serve within 10 minutes so that the bread stays crisp.
  • Make-Ahead Instructions: The tomato mixture can be prepared up to 3 hours ahead of time and stored in a covered container in the refrigerator. Taste and adjust seasoning before topping the toasted bread.

BRUSCHETTA (WITH OR WITHOUT CHEESE)



Bruschetta (With or Without Cheese) image

I basically used the recipes that I had to my disposal and a little bit of common sense as to what tastes right. I usually make this for just two people and I eyeball the amounts, so they may need to be adjusted... just use what you think looks right, and use as much cheese as you want. Fresh ingredients are best as always, but dried will do.

Time 15m

Yield 1 full-sized baguette, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 long baguette, cut in half horizontally (as opposed to slicing diagonally, which looks nicer but gets soggy and isn't as efficient)
5 teaspoons olive oil
1/3 cup softened butter (not melted, for garlic spread, should be enough to evenly cover the baguette) or 1/2 cup olive oil (for garlic spread, should be enough to evenly cover the baguette. You need more olive oil than butte)
4 teaspoons crushed garlic (or about 6 cloves)
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (kosher salt is best if available)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons basil
1 teaspoon oregano (optional)
chopped fresh basil (optional)
1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese (or any other cheese of your liking that melts well)

Steps:

  • Combine tomatoes, onion, 5 teaspoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano and mix. (Use your best judgment when adding in seasonings if there's something you know you really like or don't like; don't add too much of anything, especially salt/pepper) - cool in fridge while preparing the rest.
  • Combine butter or olive oil with garlic and spread evenly over the baguette. Make sure the baguette is covered right up to the edges, or else they will burn much quicker than the middle.
  • Broil baguette open-faced until lightly toasted or until desired doneness.
  • Add tomato and onion mixture on top.
  • Slice baguette diagonally (for aesthetics) into desired size and sprinkle the basil on top, serve.
  • If desired, before slicing add grated cheese on top and warm in the oven at 375 degrees until cheese melts; slice, serve, and enjoy. You may sprinkle more basil on top at this point if so desired or wait until this point to add the basil at all.
