This has got to be my favorite appetizer because it's very flavourful and... you guessed it... easy to make! I always get compliments on my bruschetta and I'm always asked for the recipe as well so here it is!
Ingredients:
baguette
tomatoes
garlic
pesto (about a teaspoon just for added flavor)
cheddar cheese, grated
cream cheese
olive oil
salt and pepper
* Notice I didn't put how much of the ingredients are needed? Because it's entirely upto you! You can make it as flavourful or as light as you want :)
Procedure:
1. Cut the tomatoes in halves, then quarters. Remove the seeds and juice then dice the tomatoes. (No, I don't boil the tomatoes and I don't peel the skin because I like that added texture and freshness.)
2. Mince the garlic. I usually use about 2-3 cloves.
3. Mix the tomatoes, garlic, pesto and cheddar cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Slice the baguette, lightly brush with olive oil and toast for about 5 minutes in 200'C oven.
5. Take out the toasted baguette slices from the oven and spread a little bit of cream cheese on each of them.
6. Put a tablespoon or so of the tomato mixture on top of the baguette slices and put back in the oven for about 2 minutes.
And that's it! Enjoy the crunch and flavor!
