Garlic Herb Bruschetta With Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
• In the microwave, melt the 3 tablespoons of butter with 1 clove of garlic.
• Slice up a loaf of Italian bread to about 1-inch (2 ½ cm) thickness.
• Top with melted garlic butter, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese.
• Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until golden brown.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, basil, and olive oil and stir until everything is fully coated with olive oil.
• Top the garlic bread with desired amount of tomato mixture.
• Garnish with parmesan cheese.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large grill pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
• When oil is hot, press slices of bread or foccacia firmly against the grill. Turn the flame on high until the bread has become slightly and pleasantly streaked with char lines.
• Heat 5 tablespoons of olive oil on medium heat, and add crushed garlic.
• Tilt the pan upwards so that the oil collects near the end and 'deep-fries' the garlic until golden brown, on medium to high heat. (this ensures a more wholesome garlic infusion in the oil as you're using a grill pan).
• Set golden brown garlic aside.
• In a small bowl, mix all the herbs together.
• Put in tomato slices in the grill pan and sprinkle the mixed herbs liberally and all over the tomatoes.
• Season with salt and pepper. If you have a cover for the grill pan, do so and let grill on a soft flame for 5 minutes or so. If not, leave to grill for about 7 minutes.
• When the tomatoes are soft, but still retaining their shape - or the time has elapsed, add the grated mozzarella cheese.
• Leave for another 5 - 10 minutes, or until cheese has melted and is bubbling.
• Quickly (before the melted cheese hardens), scoop the cheese covered tomatoes out, and place side by side, slightly overlapped, on the grilled bread. (I find using a fork and a spoon helps to scoop the tomatoes out without breaking them.).
• Season with more salt and pepper, and add chopped fresh coriander herb on the bruchetta.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine oil, basil, garlic, salt and pepper. Add tomatoes and toss gently. Sprinkle with cheese. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. , Bring to room temperature before serving. Cut bread into 24 slices; toast under broiler until lightly browned. Top with tomato mixture. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes and 1/2 cup fresh basil in a colander, sprinkle with salt and toss to coat; let drain 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375°F
• In a large bowl combine the drained tomato/basil mixture with the minced garlic, 1/4 cup olive oil, remaining 1/4 fresh basil, oregano and thyme.
• Let stand at room temperature 15 to 20 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
• During this time brush French bread slices lightly with the remaining olive oil.
• Toast "lightly" in the oven (just a few minutes).
• Pull out and place a small amount of tomato mixture on top of the lightly toasted French bread slices.
• Top each piece with a small amount of Mozzarella.
• Toast in the oven until cheese has melted and its golden brown.
• Serve and enjoy.
