Goat Cheese Bruschetta

Created by Tisme on March 22, 2018

4 large (5 ounces) bread slices (Italian bread like ciabatta or even pane di casa)
300 grams goats cheese (soft, chevre)
2 red onions
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons olive oil

Step 1: To make Caramelized onions: Place oil and onions in a heavy based pan over low to medium heat and cook for 20 to 25 minutes
Step 2: Add a pinch of salt, balsamic and sugar and cook for a further 15 minutes on low to medium heat (do not cook on high heat or onions will burn and not have the desired taste)
Step 3: Remove from pan and set aside
Step 4: In the same pan add butter and remaining olive oil with mushrooms. Turn up the heat to high and cook mushrooms for about 4 to 5 minutes until just firm. Remove and set aside
Step 5: To make the Bruschetta: Toast both sides of bread till golden but not too coloured as the bread will be cooked further later on
Step 6: Rub the bread with the garlic all over (this is what turns bread into bruschetta) and top with equal layers of mushrooms, caramelized onion and crumbled goats’ cheese
Step 7: Place on a baking tray and put in an oven pre-heated to180 degrees for 5 to 8 minutes
Step 8: Remove and season with salt flakes and cracked pepper
Step 9: Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle over flat leaf parsley to finish
