Hot Bruschetta Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Rub the hot dog bun halves with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toast until golden in the oven.
• Smear herbed cheese on each piece of bread. Slice tomatoes thin, and layer on 3 to 4 slices per bread. Sprinkle on basil, mozzarella, salami, Parmesan and red pepper flakes.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and slightly golden, about 8 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat about 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, saute for 2 minutes, then add the tomatoes and hot pepper flakes. Season with salt, to taste, and toss to coat in the oil. Cover the pan, raise heat a bit and cook until the tomatoes burst, about for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the lid, squish any whole tomatoes with a wooden spoon and let the tomatoes thicken, about 1 minute. Stir in the parsley, adjust the seasoning and remove from the heat.
• Heat the broiler and char the bread on both sides. Arrange the bread on a platter and top with the hot tomatoes. Garnish with torn basil leaves and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine tomato, basil, and red onion in a small mixing bowl; stir well. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
• Arrange bread on a baking sheet. Place in oven, and bake until well toasted, approximately 5 minutes.
• Remove bread from oven, and transfer to a large serving platter. Let bread cool 3 to 5 minutes. Rub garlic into the top of each slice of toast; the toast should glisten with the garlic. Spoon the tomato mixture generously onto each slice, and serve.

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.

Steps:
