Bruschetta Night

By May 7, 2010October 4th, 20114 Comments

Want to know what Iโ€™m making this weekend? I wrote the text for a story about bruschetta for the current issue of Martha Stewart and from the moment I spied this picture โ€” I had nothing to do with the recipe developing or the photographing โ€” I have been plotting bruschetta night with the kids. This particular toast has been topped with fresh ricotta, lemon zest, basil, a drizzle of honey. Which neither of my kids would touch no matter how many magic beanies I bribed them with. But they would be delighted with a little prosciutto, melon bruschetta. Or charred carrots. And definitely positively theyโ€™d have no objections to the bruschetta with melted chocolate and fleur de sel. Or with just tomatoes and mozzarella or minted peas. Iโ€™m picturing a big platter of toasts alongside a healthy selection of toppings so they can figure it out for themselves. My favorite kind of dinner.

    Fantastic idea! We do something similar and itโ€™s so well received. Donโ€™t worry, my kids wouldnโ€™t go near the ricotta, basil, honey concoction either, but I would love it.
