Sugar Cookie Bruschetta Food

SUGAR COOKIE BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Bake the cookies according to the package instructions and set aside to cool.
• Add the blueberries, strawberries, sugar and lemon juice to a bowl and toss to combine. Set aside.
• Mix together the cream cheese and honey in a separate bowl until smooth and well combined. Transfer to a small serving bowl.
• For a "build your own cookie board," arrange the cookies on a board or platter. Add the bowl of berries, the bowl of cream cheese mixture, the coconut and mint to the board, along with the chocolate syrup. Let the fun begin.
• Take a cookie, spread a thin layer of cream cheese on top, add a couple tablespoons of berries and garnish with the mint. Sprinkle over a few coconut flakes and drizzle with chocolate syrup.

EASY BRUSCHETTA

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.

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.

BALSAMIC BERRY BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Thinly slice a baguette; arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Brush with softened butter and sprinkle with salt and sugar. Bake at 425 degrees F until lightly golden, about 7 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Toss 1 cup sliced strawberries, 2 tablespoons superfine sugar and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar; set aside 30 minutes. Mix 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar and a dash of vanilla extract. Spread the mascarpone mixture on the toast rounds; top with the berries and juices.
