Best 2 Red White And Blue Bruschetta Recipes

BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and stir, lightly frying for about a minute, removing before the garlic gets too brown (it can be golden). Pour the garlic and oil into a mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly.
• Add the red and yellow tomatoes, balsamic and basil to the bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine, and then taste and add more basil if needed, and more salt if needed (don't over salt, though!) Cover and refrigerate for an hour or two if you have the time.
• Cut the baguette into diagonal slices to allow for the most surface area possible. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet and grill half the bread on both sides, making sure they're nice and buttery. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the other half of the bread.
• To serve, give the tomato mixture a final stir, and then spoon generously over the slices of bread. Serve on a big platter as a first course or appetizer.

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Heat great northern beans with about 1/4 cup of liquid in a saucepan over low heat; stir in thyme, Gorgonzola cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, black pepper, and 1 clove minced garlic. Heat gently to melt Gorgonzola; keep bean mixture warm.
• Arrange slices of baguette on a baking sheet and toast under the broiler, about 1 minute; watch carefully. Remove bread slices and rub each slice with a garlic clove half. Spread each slice with goat cheese and top with a basil leaf. Spoon bean mixture onto the appetizer and serve warm.
