Bruschetta Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash the baby tomatoes and cut them in half. Place them on a baking sheet, cut side up.

  2. 2

    Blister the Tomatoes

    Drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over the halved tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are blistered and slightly caramelized.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Bread

    While the tomatoes are roasting, slice the baguette (or ciabatta) into 1/2 inch thick slices. Brush both sides with the remaining 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

  4. 4

    Toast the Bread

    In a skillet over medium heat, toast the bread slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, you can toast them in the oven for the same amount of time.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Bruschetta

    Once the tomatoes are roasted, allow them to cool slightly. Spread a generous layer of stracciatella cheese on each toasted bread slice. Top with the blistered baby tomatoes and tear fresh basil leaves over the top.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the assembled bruschetta. Serve immediately as an appetizer.
