Day 1/24 Advent Calendar Recipe Countdown and this is a glow up on a traditional Bruschetta, one that will impress your guests with minimal effort.
Ingredients
-
200g punnet of small or cherry tomatoes diced
-
250g of Ricotta*
-
½ Red Onion diced
-
A few Basil sprigs
-
Balsamic Glaze
-
1 Baguette of Garlic Bread*
-
Salt & Pepper
Directions
🍅 Pop your garlic bread in the oven, you can make your own or buy your fav to save some time too. They usually take about 10-15 to cook minutes depending on which one you get
🍅 While its cooking chop your tomatoes I use the cherry/small ones into small pieces and dice your red onion into small pieces too and mix together (if your making a bigger version use more)
🍅 Then add ricotta into your serving bowl. I use the thicker ones in tubs you can get from your fruit shops usually in a 500g-1kg tub they are thicker. Give it a little mix around if its a bit crumbly and add a little dried oregano if you have some but don’t worry if you don’t just leave it off
🍅 Add your tomato mixture on top & then a few basil leaves you can chop them or just place them, add a good dash of salt & pepper
🍅 Drizzle over your balsamic glaze and serve with your fresh garlic bread and enjoy

Recipe Note
- You can make your own garlic bread or simply buy one already done and pop it into the oven. There is alot of great brands now that are already done you just need to bake them up.
- Get fresh in season tomatoes for this one
- I use the thicker ones in tubs you can get from your fruit shops usually in a 500g-1kg tub they are thicker.
- You can make this a bigger version as well if you like and you can also have extra tomato mixture ready to go and once the top layer is gone add some more so you can keep enjoying this one
- If you like add a but of balsamic glaze in a little side dish so people can add more
- You can make the tomatoes etc ahead of time and pop into the fridge but I wouldn't add it to the ricotta until you are ready to serve it as the tomatoes will give off excess liquid. Which if you make it ahead of time just make sure you only pop the tomato mix on top and leave the extra liquid behind
