Bruschetta with Tomatoes, Blue Cheese and Pecans
Delight the cheese-lovers at the party with a quick and easy twist on the classic Bruschetta hor d’oeuvres.
Ingredients:
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped pecans
- 4 slices crusty, firm-textured bread, cut about 3/4 inch thick
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and halved
- 2 large Florida tomatoes, sliced about 1/8 inch thick
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh basil or dried basil for garnish
Preparation:
- In a small bowl, mash the cheese together with a fork, leaving the mixture somewhat chunky. Mix in the pecans.
- Preheat the broiler
- Arrange the bread on a small baking sheet and broil the slices for about a minute on each side, just until golden. Watch them carefully so they don’t burn!
- Rub one side of each piece of bread with garlic.
- Spread some of the cheese mixture over each slice and arrange 2 or 3 overlapping tomato slices on top.
- Pepper the tomatoes lightly, then garnish with basil and serve.
