SUPER SIMPLE SUN-DRIED TOMATO APPETIZERS



Super Simple Sun-Dried Tomato Appetizers image

I tried a sample of this at Costco and it was so good, I bought a huge jar of the tomatoes just so I could repeat this at home. I am almost embarrassed to share this, as it is so incredibly simple, but they were so good. I am guessing on the amounts.

Time 15m

Yield 40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

40 butter flavored crackers (such as Ritz)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese or 1 (8 ounce) package neufchatel cheese, at room temperature
1 (16 ounce) jar marinated sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil (the kind I tried had Italian seasonings in the oil already)
1 tablespoon italian seasoning (optional)
1/2 cup fresh basil leaf, shredded, garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • NOTE: If your sundried tomatoes do not already have Italian seasoned herbs in their oil, you will need to first stir in 1 Tbsp of Italian seasoning blend to your tomatoes, then cover and chill overnight.
  • Drain off the oil from your tomatoes.
  • Spread a generous spoonful of cream cheese onto each cracker and top with a strip of marinated sundried tomato.
  • Place onto a platter and garnish with strips of fresh basil leaves, if desired.
  • Serve immediately.
  • (You may need more or less or any of the ingredients- the Zaar computer only accepts specific amounts, so I have tried to give you a rough guess).

SUNDRIED TOMATO TAPENADE



Sundried Tomato Tapenade image

A to-die-for take on the usual olive tapenade. Don't use California sundried tomatoes because they are too sweet! Every time I make this I get requests for the recipe! I've never actually had the patience to chill this and always end up serving it right away. It's a huge hit! Serve with your favorite crackers.

Time 1h

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (8 ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped, oil reserved
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup water
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leave
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 baguette, cut into 3/4-inch slices
1/4 cup olive oil
salt
fresh ground black pepper
5 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • For the Sun-dried Tomato Jam: Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of the reserved sun-dried tomato oil, olive oil, onion, and garlic. Stir and cook until the onions are soft and beginning to brown at the edges, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the sugar, vinegar, water, chicken broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and continue simmering until most of the liquid is reduced and the mixture is the consistency of jam, about 5 to 10 more minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • For the Crostini: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Place the baguette slices on the baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the baguette slices with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until lightly toasted, about 8 minutes.
  • Place the soft goat cheese in a small bowl. Stir in the thyme.
  • To assemble: Spread the crostini with Sun-Dried Tomato Jam and top with the goat cheese and herb mixture. Transfer to a serving plate and serve.
