Ahh Bruschetta. What is Bruschetta you ask? Why it's awesomeness on a slice of fresh Italian toast, that's what! The classic version is typically Italian toast rounds, with garlic and or tomatoes on top with a good olive oil. Now there are many variations of Bruschetta, mushrooms can be added, pesto, canalized onions, oh the list goes on. I of course can't help, but to change things up a bit. I had this for a snack yesterday, only realizing it was 3pm and I hadn't eaten all day! I had a million errands, one of which was "dreaded grocery shopping". I love to cook, but don't get me in a grocery store, I have no patience for it!
1 Eggplant
2 Large Tomatoes, chopped
3 Cloves Garlic, chopped
Good Olive Oil
Ricotta Cheese
Fresh Basil Leaves
Grated Cheese
Italian dressing/red wine vinegar (optional)
Peel the eggplant and then slice it into about 1 inch rounds. Now the choice is yours here, you can cook them up golden brown in a skillet with olive oil, you can grill them, you can even bread these bad boys and bake them. The sky is the limit. What I did was heat up a little olive oil in a skillet and brown them on each side.
Now you want to spread on some ricotta cheese like you would butter on toast, sprinkle on a little salt. Top with some chopped tomatoes, garlic, chopped basil, drizzle on some good olive oil, and sprinkle on some grated cheese. I mixed all the ingredients together and then spread it on. You can do it either way. Enjoy!
