Categories Cheese Tomato Broil Cocktail Party Quick & Easy Summer Grill/Barbecue Chive Gourmet

Yield Makes 16 bruschetta

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 large shallots, sliced thin
1 tablespoon olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
2 cups chopped seeded vine-ripened tomato
2 ounces ricotta salata (firm salted sheep's milk cheese) or feta, cut into fine dice (about 1/3 cup)
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, or to taste
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, or to taste
For 16 toasts:
a 24-inch-long loaf of crust Italian or French bread
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

In a small skillet cook shallots in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until softened. Stir in tomato and salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring, 30 seconds, or until just heated through. In a bowl toss together tomato mixture with cheese, chives, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste and mound about 1 tablespoon on oiled side of each toast.
To make toasts:
Prepare grill or preheat broiler.
With a serrated knife cut bread crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Grill slices on a rack set about 4 inches over glowing coals 1 to 1 1/2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp outside but still soft inside. Alternatively, slices may be broiled in batches under a broiler about 4 inches from heat 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until golden. Rub toasts with garlic on one side and lightly brush same side with oil. Toasts may be made 1 week ahead and kept in an airtight container. Makes about 45 toasts.

Tips:

Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is the key to a great bruschetta. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slight give when you press them gently.
Use good-quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for bruschetta, as it has a more robust flavor and aroma.
Don't overcrowd the bruschetta. It's better to have a few well-topped pieces of bruschetta than a lot of pieces that are skimpy on toppings.
Serve bruschetta immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh, so make it just before you're ready to serve it.

Conclusion:

Tomato and ricotta salata bruschetta is a simple but delicious appetizer or snack. It's perfect for a party or potluck, and it's also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With its fresh, flavorful ingredients and its crispy, toasted bread, tomato and ricotta salata bruschetta is a dish that everyone will love.
