INGREDIENTS
Are you looking for new and delicious combinations with just a few simple ingredients? We'll let you in on our secret: in addition to the classic tomato bruschette, a classic of Italian cuisine, we present the "alternative summer bruschette", our fresh new interpretation of a typical Italian starter. The crunchiness of the toasted bread combines perfectly with cream cheese or anchovy spreads to create a combination of fresh, irresistible flavours. Each bite is an explosion of flavours that takes you on a sweet journey through Italian cuisine.
PREPARATION
- Heat a grill or non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Toast the bread slices on both sides until they are crispy and lightly browned. After toasting, rub the surface of the slices with peeled garlic, if desired, to give them a subtle aroma.
- To enhance the flavour of the bruschette, add an extra splash of extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt from Cervia (quantity to taste) and some lemon juice (quantity to taste) on top.
- For lovers of vegetable sauces: spread a good dose of pepper sauce, red sauce and green sauce on the surface of the crusty bread and discover the incredible taste and freshness of the vegetables.
- For lovers of traditional anchovy sauces: spread a good dose of one of our selected sauces on the surface of the crusty bread: anchovies mayonnaise, broccoli and anchovies, spicy anchovies, anchovies with lemon and capers.
- Is the traditional recipe for Italian bruschette not enough? Try them together with our cheese cremes from our manufacturer ITALIAN FOOD & CHEESE. Spread the numerous cheese creams on golden, crispy slices of bread and let yourself be conquered by new, delicate flavours.
- For lovers of a stronger and more refined taste, you can also prepare a bruschetta with anchovies fillets. Spread a little butter on the toasted slices of bread. Place 1 or 2 anchovies marinated in oil or hot sauce on top. Add some salted capers and your refined bruschetta with anchovies is ready to serve.
- Optionally, you can decorate the bruschette with additional rocket leaves, some toasted pine nuts and fresh basil leaves.
- If you are a lover of traditional Italian cuisine, you can prepare your bruschette in the traditional way. Instead of using spreadable sauces or creams, on the crusty bread, after adding a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, cut 2-3 tomatoes into small cubes and place them on the bread slice. Season with a pinch of Cervia salt and black pepper and the bruschetta is ready to serve
SERVE
Regardless of how you prepared your fabulous bruschette, serve them on a serving platter and start enjoying the freshness of the flavours. Combine your bruschette with a good white wine from our producer Tenuta Baron, and their taste will be even better!
