It's been awhile since I've posted, but I've been busy with new recipes! Before I get to those posts, though, I just want to share the pics of the AWESOME bruschetta made with those tiny, beautiful heirloom tomatoes from the previous post.
First I did a rough chop to keep hearty pieces of tomato intact.
Then I dressed the tomatoes with a chiffonade of basil, some extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt and black pepper.
It was hard not to eat it right then! But I refrained. I laid the sliced baguette on a wire rack over a cookie sheet and scooped my precious little jewels onto the bread...
...making sure to keep the edges clear of vegetation in order to ensure crispiness.
Then I topped the little beauties with a blend of Gouda, Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. I also made a few pieces brushed with olive oil and topped with fresh thyme, basil and parsley and Parmesan cheese for a crispy base for some of the raw tomato mixture left over. Here's an 'After' picture - I like the cheese to be gooey so it's lacking in typical golden deliciousness:
Yum! Super simple supper for summer. Don't forget to visit your local Farmer's Market. If you're local to me, here's a good place to find one before they shut down for the winter.
