I've made this recipe by toasting the bread on a grill at cookouts, but any way I serve it, I never have any leftovers. The bruschetta is sweet instead of savory as is often expected, and visitors enjoy that change. -Patricia Nieh of Portola Valley, California Ingredients:
10 slices french bread (1/2 inch thick) |
cooking spray |
5 teaspoons sugar, divided |
6 ounces fat-free cream cheese |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
3/4 cup fresh blackberries |
3/4 cup fresh raspberries |
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted |
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. Place bread on an ungreased baking sheet; lightly coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons sugar. Broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned.
2. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, extract and remaining sugar. Spread over toasted bread. Top with berries and almonds; dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately. Yield: 10 pieces.
