Bruschetta With Strawberry And Tomato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat your oven's broiler. Spread a thin layer of butter on each slice of bread. Arrange bread slices in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
• Place bread under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, just until lightly toasted. Spoon some chopped strawberries onto each piece of toast, then sprinkle sugar over the strawberries.
• Place under the broiler again until sugar is caramelized, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Core and chop the tomatoes, then transfer to a colander over a bowl or in the sink. Add the salt and gently stir. Let drain for up to 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the garlic oil: In a small saucepan, warm the olive oil and garlic over low heat until the garlic is softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes, making sure the garlic doesn't brown. Set aside to cool.
• Roll the basil leaves up and thinly slice crosswise.
• When the oil is cool and the tomatoes are well drained, combine the tomatoes, garlic oil and basil in a medium bowl. Season with additional salt, to taste. Spoon over toasted bread.

Steps:

• Brush bread slices with butter; place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned., Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the strawberries, mint and honey; set aside. In another bowl, combine the ricotta, jam and lemon zest. Spread ricotta mixture over toast; top with strawberry mixture.

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.

Steps:

• Mix garlic and olive oil in a small bowl and let sit for about 1 hour, or until needed.

• Preheat a charcoal grill until coals are white and ashy.
• Grill bread over hot charcoal, rotating as needed, until both sides are nicely toasted and slightly charred.
• Brush grilled bread with the garlic olive oil and use a slotted spoon to transfer the tomato salad over top of each. Excess dressing can be spooned over if desired. Garnish with chives and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush 1/4 cup olive oil over bread, and spread on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
• In a large saute pan, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until onions begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, parsley, and thyme; increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring, until tomatoes start to dry and mixture is caramelized, about 10 minutes.
• Spread a heaping teaspoon of ricotta over each toast slice; top with a teaspoon of tomato mixture. Garnish with thyme, and serve.
