A decedent spread that wins raves at potlucks and dinner parties. Rich and flavourful, it's perfect served with whole grain crackers or grilled bread. Thanks to my co-worker Melanie for the AWESOME recipe! Note that 1/2 cup of pesto can be substituted for the fresh herbs - it saves time and waste if you don't have a use for the rest of the herbs!

Provided by PalatablePastime

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 12 appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
12 slices Italian bread or 12 slices French bread, 3/4 inch thick
12 sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup fresh basil leaf
extra virgin olive oil

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.
