Sun-Dried Tomato Bruschetta
This sun-dried tomato bruschetta recipe is an easy appetizer for any occasion. The combination of fresh tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes takes this simple bruschetta to the next level!
Bruschetta is one of my favorite appetizers and this variation uses creamy ricotta and sun-dried tomatoes to amplify the flavor. The toasted baguette makes a delicious base—it’s a simple appetizer that’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
How to Make Bruschetta
Slice a crusty baguette and brush or drizzle with olive oil. Toast in the oven until crispy.
Once the bread is lightly browned, it’s ready for toppings!
Add a spoonful of ricotta cheese on each slice of bread.
Top each slice with a mix of sun-dried and fresh tomatoes!
Substitution Ideas
- Traditional bruschetta is a simple combination of crusty bread, olive oil, garlic, and tomatoes. If you want to make this recipe vegan, you can skip the ricotta cheese.
- If you don’t have any fresh tomatoes, you can use all sun-dried tomatoes.
- I like to use a french baguette or a crusty loaf of ciabatta bread, but any hearty, crusty loaf will work!
