- Yields:
-
12 Bruschettas
- Serves:
- 6
ingredients
- 8 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, well drained
- 7-8 anchovy fillets (1 small tin)
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 medium tomatoes, fresh, chopped
- salt & pepper
- 0.39 ml hot sauce (Peri-Peri Tabasco, your favorite)
- 29.57 ml asiago cheese or 29.57 ml parmesan cheese, grated
- 44.37 ml lite olive oil
- 44.37 ml lite olive oil or 44.37 ml virgin olive oil
directions
- Slice the bread and very lightly paint with the olive oil and toast (dry) the slices in the oven 300°F for approx 20 minutes or until the slices are crisp dried.
- I do this well in advance and keep the dried toasts in an air tight container so you always have some on hand, or you can buy ready made ones.
- In your food processor or hand held chopper attachment put in: sun dried tomatoes, anchovies,garlic salt& pepper, and hot sauce.
- Chop until you have a very fine spreadable mixture, let stand for at least 1/2 hour.
- I make mine up a few hours in advance.
- Spread the mixture on the dry toasts.
- Top with fresh chopped tomato.
- Sprinkle with cheese of your choice.
- Place in 375°F oven for approx 15 minutes or until heated through and the cheese is golden.

Yummy! I made these a long time ago and just looked at my note - I never reviewed them, sorry. I love the entire concept - anchovies and garlic, who could go wrong? The one thing I noted was that I think they may be better on just sliced baguette than the toasted bread. Also, even though I loved the anchovies and tomatoes, I think it could use more tomatoes - dried or even fresh for a try. Thanks for posting, Bergy, just up my ally!

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
