Silly me, I always thought bruschetta is always topped with tomatoes. But after further reading I found that bruschetta is often topped with meats, beans, and… of course, cheese. Like this herbed ricotta bruschetta.
Don’t Over-Toast The Bread
The bread is only grilled long enough to get a little color, char and crisp. You spread them with the creamy cheese mixture that contains one of my favorites, green onion. Cut these into little strips and serve this herbed Ricotta bruschetta up as appetizers at your next outdoor party. If you want to prepare ahead of time, you can make the spread in advance. Then you just need to grill the bread.
