Bruschetta Caprese

Bruschetta Caprese - Mutti Cherry Tomatoes & Vannella Buffalo Bocconcini

It’s good to eat with the seasons, but occasionally I want a touch of summer year-round – that’s when I call on a few of my favourite things and create this delicious bruschetta Caprese. Windy Hills Farm pots of living basil are the perfect way to use this summer herb year-round, Vannella’s small buffalo bocconcini are just the right size and Mutti’s canned cherry tomatoes are so plump and firm they taste like fresh ones, except juicier. Serve on bright Italian ceramics with a glass of Prosecco, like the lovely rosé one from Tenuta Sant’ Anna, and be transported to a summer holiday on Italy’s beautiful Amalfi coast.

Makes 6 pieces

Ingredients
  • 2 large slices sourdough bread
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • 12 canned cherry tomatoes
  • 2 buffalo bocconcini, torn
  • 4 basil leaves, torn
  • Salt flakes, to taste

 

You’ll need about half a can of cherry tomatoes for this recipe, so toss the rest through some pasta for dinner with more of that basil and keep the summer feeling alive.

Method
  1. Toast the bread and drizzle it with olive oil.
  2. Cut each slice into 3 fingers.
  3. Gently crush the tomatoes onto the bread.
  4. Top with pieces of bocconcini then basil.
  5. Sprinkle with salt, serve and enjoy!

We made the pot-sticker dumplings and bang bang chicken – once again both exceeded our expectations. My husband keeps saying it’s better ordering this than going out to restaurants as the recipes and food quality are amazing.

The whole Be Inspired experience has helped me love cooking again. I was sick of cooking the same old things - meal time is a lot brighter thanks to you Roberta.

I loved the Fresh & Easy Chicken – simple instructions, only a few ingredients and the time factor absolutely spot on. Then came the highlight, the taste, no compromise on the enjoyment of that meal! For the time poor Fresh & Easy hits the mark indeed.

Thank you for stocking our pantry with such authentic ingredients and quality produce ... I’ve so enjoyed picking fresh leaves from the herb pots and loved listening to the chef's playlist while cooking. We really like the flexibility of cooking over a couple of days and changing the order we cook the dishes in when we want to.

I am absolutely loving these boxes! There are ingredients I have never worked with before so having the confidence to try something new is so much fun! The recipes are just amazing and the notes on what can be prep’d beforehand are a great help too. Thank you so much.

Thanks so much for the Fresh & Easy Meal, it was excellent. We regularly get another meal kit delivery – your offering is vastly superior and a similar price, so big ticks.

I'm a competent cook whose learned so much from the Recipes+Videos Packs. The recipes are yummy and Roberta’s video guidance offers so many little tips to improve flavour and organise the flow of preparation. I enjoy her warmth, sense of humour, and ability to giggle at herself when she occasionally messes up.
