Bruschetta
Minerva was the first olive oil in Greece that came in standardised packaging. It has a discrete, delicate taste, fine scent and shiny, clear colour. Minerva Classic Olive Oil is the genuine taste originating from selected Greek olive groves and for generations upon generations people in Greece consider it to be a synonym for delicious family meals. It is a brilliant brand I must say. Lupi? Not quite as good.
To make bruschetta, basil and/or oregano are important for flavours. We used dried oregano for this time. A fresh bunch will definitely produce a more sophisticated flavour.
Ingredients:
1 long bread roll
1 truss tomato, diced
2 slices of honey leg ham
2 slices of red cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 fresh garlic cloves, minced and mixed into olive oil
Black pepper and dried oregano to season
Methods:
1. Slice bread roll cross-sectionally into 1.5cm thickness.
2. Spread a layer of extra virgin olive oil with minced garlic onto bread slices.
3. Top each bread slice with a small slice of red cheddar cheese, followed by a small slice of honey leg ham.
4. Top the layers with 1 teaspoonful of chopped truss tomato.
5. Season with cracked black pepper and dried oregano before toss in oven for 15 minutes at 180 degree.
Bruschetta offers a simple yet appetising course as a starter. It is easy to make, tasty to eat! We love making this every now and then, and even more often now!
Do enjoy cooking!
