Bread and ricotta: 10 delicious bruschetta


An aperitif standing up with so many friends? What could be better than a bruschetta? So many sweet and savory ricotta-based ideas.

When naming the bruschetta the first thought goes to the classic slice of toasted bread with oil and tomato, or with ham and mozzarella.
However, we want to offer you something different and original.
Not one, but 10 types of bruschetta, both sweet and savory, Perfect for summer and for an outdoor aperitif.

But what's special about our 10 bruschetta? They are all prepared with two common ingredients: bread, obviously, and ricotta, a fresh and light cheese that goes well with everything.

Here are 10 quick and easy recipes to bring to the table in a few minutes.

Common base recipe

Slice a baguette (or the bread of your choice) and toast them on a baking sheet at 200 ° for a few minutes. Only when they are crispy, season them with a little oil (only the savory ones) and then spread them with ricotta. This is the common starting point for all the following recipes.

Salted bruschettas

Bruschetta with ricotta and radishes

Cut the radishes into very thin slices using a mandolin. Season them with oil, salt and a little lemon juice and arrange them on the ricotta. Decorate with fresh mint.

With tomato confit

Wash the tomatoes well and place them on a baking tray. Season with oil and salt and cook at 50 ° for about an hour (if you are in a hurry at 180 ° for 10 minutes). Let them cool a little and then add them to the bruschetta.

With ham and figs

A summer classic. Choose sweet and ripe figs, wash them well and leave them with the peel. Cut them into wedges and accompany them on the bruschetta with slices of raw ham.

With zucchini ribbons

Wash small zucchini well and take the green outer part with a potato peeler forming like ribbons. Leave them to macerate for an hour in oil and lemon juice and once softened place them on the bruschetta. Season with a pinch of salt and a few mint leaves.

With smoked salmon and avocado

Blend the avocado pulp with oil and lemon and season with salt and pepper. Put a spoon on the bruschetta and add a slice of smoked salmon.

Sweet bruschettas

With strawberries

Cut the strawberries after washing them and cook them on a low heat with little sugar for a few minutes. They must not be too soft. Let them cool a little and then pour a spoon on each bruschetta. If you like it, add some balsamic vinegar glaze.

With lavender peaches

Cut nectarines into wedges and let them marinate in brandy for 30 minutes with lavender flowers. Then roast them on a plate for a couple of minutes and add them to the bruschetta with a pinch of cinnamon and a teaspoon of sour cream.

With nuts and honey

A very simple recipe. Just add to the bruschetta with the shelled walnut ricotta and a teaspoon of honey.

With the cassata

A fun idea to reproduce the classic Sicilian dessert on a bruschetta. Just decorate the ricotta base with mixed candied fruit and chocolate drops.

With the cheesecake

Another original and fun idea to reproduce a classic American dessert. Just add to the base of ricotta, a tablespoon of Philadelphia cheese, crumbled biscuits (Digestive) and a jam to taste

Bread, butter and sugar – Italian Cuisine – Italian Cuisine


The recipe for a genuine, ancient, healthy, super tasty snack (or breakfast)! And full of memories

Once upon a time bread, butter and sugar. And there is still! As still resists the eternal delicious tender with bread and Nutella (or other delicious chocolate creams on the market today) and bread, butter and jam.

Bread, butter and sugar and the grandmother

Bread, butter and sugar is the snack that our grandmother presented us at 4 pm, perhaps supplementing it with a nice glass of milk. Or at breakfast. Naturally, slack bread, or without salt, the most suitable for a sweet filling. Also known as Tuscan bread, sciapo bread is widespread in central Italy, particularly, in addition to the aforementioned Tuscany, in the Marche region. If you live in areas where salt-free bread is hard to find, they can be a valid alternative rusks: the disadvantage is that the rusk deprives us of the crumb, the soft part of our slice of bread, where the butter sinks and absorbs the sugar better. Another alternative may be the cassette bread.

Bread, butter and sugar: the recipe

Difficulty: very easy
Preparation time: 2/3 minutes approx

Ingredients

2 slices of sciapo bread
butter q.b.
granulated sugar q.b.

Method

First we take out the butter from the fridge, so that, at room temperature, it softens to be easier to spread on the bread. We take a loaf of sciapo bread and cut it in half vertically, so as to have the widest part available from which to cut two nice large slices. With a butter curl we do, in fact, some curls of butter, which will be deposited on the slice of bread and spread with the help of a knife, or other suitable kitchen tool, until it is completely covered. At this point, with a teaspoon, pour the sugar over the butter and with the same knife spread it gently over the whole slice. Now we can overlap the two slices in a single sandwich, or, if we prefer, keep them separate and eat them one at a time.

Vegan alternative

Let's start with bread, which by itself should be vegan by default, since the ingredients are flour (of any kind), water, yeast and, not always, salt. However, as we know, other ingredients are often added, such as lard, which are not vegans (or even vegetarians). So first make sure you are using a bread that contains nothing that conflicts with a veg diet. We replace the butter with the vegetable margarine, which among other things being softer spreads itself more easily and uniformly. And finally the sugar: here too we must be careful. Prefer it beet sugar to that of cane: the first is certainly vegan, the second may not be vegan because products of animal origin are used in the refining process.

Other alternatives

Of course nobody forbids us to use wholemeal bread, if you prefer it, perhaps combined with wholemeal cane sugar. Or we can toast the bread (especially if it is a loaf of bread) and then spread the butter and sugar.
