A great way to serve a simple toasted bread-tomatoes and cheese appetizer. The fancy name gives it a bit of style, but try not to talk with your mouth full. Inspired by several recipes including: Hannah Creek Farms - Tomato Basil Bruchetta recipe, and the ’s Bruchetta recipe. Ingredients:
1 garlic clove, smashed |
1 lb tomato, firm, ripe, skinned, seeded and chopped |
1/2 cup minced fresh basil |
4 tablespoons olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) |
3/4 cup provolone cheese, cut into cubes |
8 slices italian bread, cut about 1/2 inch thick |
salt & pepper (to taste) |
Directions:
1. Combine the oil and garlic together in a small bowl. Set aside.
2. Place the tomatoes, basil, dried red pepper flakes, provolone cheese, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium-size bowl. Mix well.
3. Preheat broiler.
4. Brush one side of the bread slices with the olive oil/garlic mix.
5. Lightly broil that side.
6. Turn the pieces over and top with tomato mixture.
7. Broil until the tomato mixture is hot, and the cheese has melted.
8. Serve immediately.
