It’s Menu Plan Monday and I thought I’d share a quick and easy summer lunch (or appetizer) with you. We have bruschetta and/or cheese bread once a week.This week Kroger had Italian bread on sale for $1.00 so we’ve had it several times this week. I bought a jar of bruschetta at Sam’s but it’s easy to make if you prefer homemade.
Traditional bruschetta is made by toasting the bread first, drizzle with olive oil, rubbing with garlic and then topping with the tomato mixture. When I make it for lunch, I make it like this:
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Italian bread or baguette French bread
- Mozzarella cheese (ball is best but shredded will do)
- Bruschetta (premade in a jar or homemade)
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Butter
- Salt
Slice Italian bread and brush with Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or butter each slice) and arrange on a cookie sheet. Top each slice with a spoon of bruschetta and a slice of Mozzarella cheese. Place in 350 degree F oven for about 5 minutes or until cheese has melted. Salt to taste. Children that don’t like tomatoes eat bread with cheese only. Quick, easy, nutritious, and delicious.
Martha Stewart has some fancier bruschetta recipes that look tasty. I’m going to try it with artichoke next time. Yum.
