Tomato Brie Bruschetta Recipes

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, basil, and garlic; let tomato mixture rest for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Arrange French bread slices on a large baking sheet; drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil.
• Toast bread in preheated oven until lightly browned, about 1 minute on each side. Top bread slices with tomato mixture using a slotted spoon, allowing excess liquid to drain. Return bread to baking sheet and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
• Broil in preheated oven until cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

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:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
• Transfer the tomatoes, along with any oil in the bowl, to a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 35 minutes, or until the tomatoes are lightly browned and wrinkled.
• While the tomatoes roast, in a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the balsamic vinegar to a simmer and let reduce by half. Set aside.
• During the final 10 minutes of roasting, place the bread on one of the oven racks and toast until just lightly browned.
• Remove the tomatoes and bread from the oven and let the tomatoes cool slightly. While the tomatoes cool, rub the toasted bread with the garlic.
• Slather a generous layer of ricotta on each slice of bread, then arrange the slices on a serving platter. Top each with some of the tomatoes. Sprinkle with fresh thyme, then finish with a drizzle of the reduced balsamic vinegar and remaining olive oil.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a saucepan and gently cook the chopped shallots for 2 mins until soft but not coloured. Pour in the cream, bring it to a simmer, then reduce by about half. The cream will look like a thick sauce at this point. Stir in the chives.
• Heat grill to high. Brush the remaining olive oil over the bread and grill on both sides until toasted. Top each slice with some tomato, then cheese, then Serrano ham, and finally spread over about 1 tbsp of the thickened cream to cover the ham. Place back under the hot grill until the cream starts to colour and glaze and the cheese has begun to melt. Serve with rocket leaves scattered over the top.
