Best Grilled Pineapple And Bacon Blue Cheese Bruschetta Recipes

GRILLED CHEESE BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat grill. Brush each slice of bread with the garlic oil. Grill, oil-side-down until lightly golden brown. Turn each slice over and top with 2 tablespoons of Monterey Jack, 1-ounce of goat cheese, black pepper and oregano. Grill until cheese just begins to melt.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE AND BACON BLUE CHEESE BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Cook bacon, crumble and set aside. Heat your grill (or indoor grill pan which is what I use). Grill bread slices on both sides and set aside.
• Grill 6 slices of drained pineapple on both sides (save the liquid) and set aside. When the slices are cooled, finely chop 4 of the rings, and set those aside - they'll be going into the cheese mixture.
• In medium-size bowl combine the Neufchatel and blue cheese. I use a flexible spatula to do this. Add pineapple juice (from sliced canned pineapple) and Worcestershire sauce. Now add the scallions, celery, raisins (or cranberries), crumbled bacon, and chopped pineapple.
• To plate, place a heaping tablespoon of cheese mixture on grilled bread. For a fun garnish, cut the remaining 2 slices of grilled pineapple into 4 pieces so they look like little fans. Place 1 "fan" atop each bruschetta, then add a sprig or two of parsley or mint.
