Bruschetta II image

This Italian appetizer made of bread, fresh spinach, and some other goodies is great for serving at parties. A French baguette is a long, narrow loaf of French bread. I like to garnish the bruschetta with more basil.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (8 ounce) loaf French baguette
1 ½ cups spinach - packed, rinsed and torn
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 cups finely chopped almonds
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 clove garlic, minced
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Arrange the bread slices on a non-stick cookie sheet.
  • In an electric blender or food processor combine the spinach, Parmesan, almonds, basil, garlic, salt and pepper. Blend until a paste forms. Pulse in 2 tablespoons olive oil; continue pulsing until the mixture is the consistency of soft butter.
  • In a small mixing bowl combine chopped tomatoes, green onion and 1 tablespoon olive oil; stir.
  • Bake the bread slices for 5 minutes or until crisp and brown.
  • Arrange toast on a serving platter. Spread each piece of toast with a thin layer of the blended pesto, then top with the tomato mixture.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my bruschetta turned out really dry.
