GRILLED BRUSCHETTA



Grilled Bruschetta image

This is my go-to appetizer in the summer when tomatoes and basil are fresh from the garden. The balsamic glaze takes this bruschetta recipe over the top. I like to use a Tuscan herb- or basil-infused olive oil for this. But, it's great with just plain olive oil, too. -Brittany Allyn, Mesa, Arizona

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 small sourdough loaf, cut into six 1/2-inch-thick slices
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more if needed
1 clove garlic, cut in half
1 1/2 cups red seedless grapes, cut in half lengthwise
1/2 cup green seedless grapes, cut in half lengthwise
6 fresh sage leaves
3/4 cup soft chevre, at room temperature
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon

Steps:

  • Brush both sides of all bread slices with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Toast on a grill pan over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Turn each slice 90 degrees on the same side and cook for another minute so your bread chars with beautiful crisscross grill marks. Flip over and repeat. Rub each slice of hot bread with the cut garlic clove as it comes off the grill.
  • Meanwhile, add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil to a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the red grapes and saute until warm and softened, about 3 minutes. Add the green grapes and toss just to warm. Remove to a bowl.
  • Add the sage leaves to the hot oil and fry until crisp, 15 to 20 seconds. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Spread 2 tablespoons of the chevre over one side of each piece of toast, covering completely. Top with a mound of warm grapes on top. Sprinkle a bit of sea salt and a few grinds of pepper over the grapes. Top with a sage leaf. Zest the lemon generously over the top of each slice.

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 8 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 small eggplant (about 6 inches long) (about 12 ounces)
1/4 cup olive oil plus 1 tablespoon, plus more for brushing the bread
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes (about 15)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 small shallot, thinly sliced (about 3 tablespoons)
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
One loaf sliced sourdough, country bread or baguette
1 cup marinated artichokes, drained and chopped
Zest of 1/2 lemon (about 1/2 teaspoon)
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Slice the eggplant lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices on a mandoline if you have one. Put the eggplant in a medium bowl and add 1 tablespoon oil and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat.
  • Grill the eggplant in batches until there are grill marks, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and grill until there are grill marks and the eggplant softens and is no longer white, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining eggplant.
  • Grill the tomatoes on each side until they begin to pop, 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a medium bowl. Turn off the heat.
  • To make the vinaigrette, put the vinegar, mustard, sugar, shallots, garlic, pinch salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup oil while whisking continuously until emulsified. Add the basil, oregano and thyme; set aside.
  • Preheat the grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the bread slices with oil on both sides and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until the bread is crusty and you see grill marks, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Put the artichokes in a large bowl. Chop up the cooled eggplant. Remove the cherry tomato skins if desired; they should come right off. Halve or quarter the tomatoes and add to the bowl. Add the lemon zest and half of the vinaigrette and toss together. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
  • Top each piece of grilled bread with 3 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture and some crumbled feta if desired.
