• Add grated Parmesan cheese, salt and red pepper; toss again to coat as evenly as possible.

BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and stir, lightly frying for about a minute, removing before the garlic gets too brown (it can be golden). Pour the garlic and oil into a mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly.
• Add the red and yellow tomatoes, balsamic and basil to the bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine, and then taste and add more basil if needed, and more salt if needed (don't over salt, though!) Cover and refrigerate for an hour or two if you have the time.
• Cut the baguette into diagonal slices to allow for the most surface area possible. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet and grill half the bread on both sides, making sure they're nice and buttery. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the other half of the bread.
• To serve, give the tomato mixture a final stir, and then spoon generously over the slices of bread. Serve on a big platter as a first course or appetizer.

POTATO BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Slice the potatoes into thin slices, about half a cm thick. Place them flat on a baking tray, on baking paper (individual slices).
• Pour the olive oil onto the potatoes. Use a brush to spread it evenly.
• Sprinkle the fennel seeds onto the potatoes.
• Chop the tomatoes, onion and cheeselets or feta into small pieces, and the garlic into tiny bits. Mix together with the olives, capers and add salt and pepper to taste.
• Place some of this mix on each potato slice and flatten it a little.
• Sprinkle with pepper.
• Cook in the oven for about 30 minutes at 200°C.
• Cut the cheddar slices into as many pieces as there are potato slices.
• Place a piece of cheddar over each slice, then pop under the grill for a further 5 minutes to melt the cheddar and caramelise it slightly.
