bruschetta

This was a recipe from a friend of mine. I have changed it a bit over the years, changing to a yellow bell pepper instead of the original green one. Any type of shredded cheese can be used. I usually use something like a mix of mozzarella, asiago or provolone. But, anything will work. The pre-shredded ones work with no problems, too. I use Mayonnaise, but Miracle Whip is fine for those with egg allergies. It’s an easy recipe to tweak to your tastes.

How To Make bruschetta

  • This is just an example of the cut bread slices. My guests arrived, and I forgot to take photos of the full cookie sheet. I had some of the mix leftover and took these photos instead.
    1
    Slice the baguette, or French bread to the desired thickness. I usually cut them about 1/2 inch or so. Depending on the length of bread, try to have 20-25 slices. Place the bread slices on a cookie sheet, lined with foil or parchment paper…just for easy clean-up. Set aside for now.
  • These are my ingredients.
    2
    Prepare the rest of the ingredients: Slice the tomatoes in half, and I like to clean out the seeds. This will reduce the moisture in the mix. Chop the black olives. Chop the yellow pepper. Chop the garlic clove. As I do this, I just throw everything into a big bowl.
  • 3
    Add the 1/2 cup mayonnaise Add the 1 cup shredded cheese Add the Oregano Add the pepper
  • 4
    Mix all of the ingredients in the large bowl.
  • As I said above, this was a photo of a small sample going in the oven. I forgot to take photos of the cookie sheet full of Bruschetta.
    5
    Once the ingredients are mixed well you will then spread about 1 tablespoon on top of each slice of baguette.
  • 6
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, (or 180 degrees C).
  • 7
    Place the cookie sheet in the oven for about 15 minutes. I keep an eye on it. You want them to be warm and the cheese melted. Too long and they could brown or burn.
  • My version of Bruschetta. Makes for a really nice appetizer.
    8
    Serve warm
