Ingredients
-
1 French stick, cut into thick slices on the angle
-
¼ cup olive oil
-
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped or crushed
-
1 tablespoon chopped thyme
-
Sea salt & cracked pepper
-
200gms Halloumi, sliced into 12 pieces
-
2 roasted capsicums, cut into thin strips
-
2 tablespoons pesto
-
6 slices Parma ham cut in half
This easy bruschetta is salty, sweet – and a total treat. Makes about 12.
-
Pre-heat the oven or grill to medium heat.
-
Cut the French bread into thick slices on the angle and arrange on a lined baking tray.
-
Combine the oil, garlic, thyme and seasoning and brush generously over the bread, cook or grill for a few minutes until golden brown. Set aside.
-
Cook the halloumi in a dry pan for 30 seconds on each side or until golden. (Cook in batches of 4-5 to stop them over-cooking and going too soft to turn.)
-
Arrange the toasted bread on a platter or board and top with the golden halloumi, strips of capsicum and Parma ham.
-
Drizzle with a little pesto and garnish with cracked pepper and herbs.
