BRUSCHETTA PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. In a bowl combine diced tomatoes, diced onions, minced garlic and dried basil. Set aside1/2 cup of this mixture. Spread pre baked pizza crust with sun dried tomato pesto. Sprinkle remaining tomato mixture over top of the sun dried pesto -- still reserving the 1/2 cup of this mixture for later use. Top with mozzarella cheese and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden and cheese is bubbling. Remove from oven and top with fresh basil leaves and reserved tomato mixture. Serve on the patio with a nice glass of wine.
• *you can also add green or red peppers, olives and I cooked chicken. I always add the olives and the cooked chicken to mine -- mmmm! I use pre baked boboli pizza crust for this.

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.

• On a high heat, toast the bread using a stovetop grill, then set aside on a cookie sheet pan.
• In a bowl, mix together the mozzarella and tomatoes, season very lightly with olive oil and salt and pepper. Stir well and top the bread with the mixture and place on the sheet pan.
• Cook in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and starts to crisp into a nice golden color, than place in a platter and allow to cool off for a few minutes before serving.
• Dress with a couple leaves freshly picked basil, a drizzle of extra-virgin oil, salt, and pepper.

BEST EVER BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, add the tomatoes, garlic, basil, vinegar, olive oil, cheese, salt and pepper.
• Mix thoroughly and let sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors marinate.
• Slice the bread into individual pieces and spoon the mixture on top.

TOMATO BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the onions, tomatoes, garlic and basil, taking care not to mash or break up the tomatoes too much. Add the balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix again. Cover and chill for at least an hour. This will allow the flavours to soak and blend together.
• Slice the baguette loaf diagonally into 12 thick slices and lightly toast them until they are light brown on both sides. Serve the mixture on the warm slices of bread. If you prefer the mixture at room temperature, remove from the fridge half an hour before serving.
