Sun Dried Tomato Goat Cheese Bruschetta Food

SUN DRIED TOMATO BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F
• Place the bread slices on a parchment lined baking sheet, brush with olive oil on each side and transfer to the oven. Toast the slices on each side until lightly golden, about 6 minutes per side. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the pan.
• In a fine-mesh strainer drain the oil from the tomatoes and spread onto a paper towel-lined plate. With a pad of folded paper towels, blot off as much of the oil as possible. Place the tomatoes on a cutting board and give them a rough chop.
• Spread one tablespoon of the feta cream on each bread slice, add a tablespoon of chopped tomatoes and garnish with oregano. Arrange on a serving plate and enjoy!

SUN-DRIED TOMATO BRUSCHETTA WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Slice your bread, if you have not done so already; place them on a baking sheet which you have lined with aluminum foil (just in case something falls off and tries to burn).
• Place the bread under the broiler and toast until light golden; remove.
• Turn the bread over, place the bread under the broiler and toast just until the bread firms slightly but not golden yet; remove.
• Brush the lighter side with olive oil (you may decline this if you are using tomatoes packed in oil, but it's your choice).
• On top of that lay out some basil leaves to cover the top of the bread.
• Mince the sun-dried tomatoes and sprinkle on top of the basil; I use regular dried on mine that are still pliant like raisins; if yours are hard you may need to have soaked them in warm water in advance and squeezed dry then mince; but you can do that now, no biggie.
• On top of the tomatoes sprinkle a generous amount of goat cheese and tap down so it doesn't fall off.
• If you like you can add a pinch of sea salt but I didn't.
• Place the bruschettas under the broiler and toast just until the cheese starts to soften and the edges get nice and brown; serve.
