Bruschetta Dip In An Italian Bread Bowl Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Combine tomatoes, garlic, basil, oregano, onion, olives, oil and 1 tbs. parmesan cheese in a small casserole dish. With back of spoon, smooth down top of mixture until flat.
• Sprinkle 1/2 cup parmesan cheese evenly over top.
• Bake at 350 F for 10-12 minutes or until heated through.
• While this is baking, slice bread and arrange as desired. If desired, lightly toast the bread before arranging.
• Turn off oven heat and preheat broiler to medium heat. Place tomato mixture 2-3 inches under broiler for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned.
• Serve immediately, allow guests to spoon the mixture onto pre-sliced bread.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat.
• To make the bread bowl, slice off the top one-quarter of the bread with a serrated knife and set the top aside. Hollow out the loaf by cutting a circle around the inside of the bread, leaving a 1-inch border. Pull the soft bread out with your hands, making sure to leave about 1 inch intact at the bottom of the bowl as well. Reserve the bread pieces and the bowl.
• Combine the tomato paste, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, several grinds of black pepper and the red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Whisk in the olive oil until well combined. Brush the mixture all over the inside of the bread bowl and its top with a pastry brush. Fill with the cheese and replace the top.
• Grill the bread bowl until the cheese is completely melted, about 30 minutes. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, grill the reserved bread pieces until golden all over. Transfer everything to a serving platter and remove the top of the bread bowl. Top the cheese with the tomatoes and basil. Drizzle with more olive oil and some balsamic vinegar, then sprinkle with flaky salt.

Steps:

• Mix half of a 10-ounce box of frozen chopped spinach (thawed and squeezed dry) with 3/4 cup chopped canned artichoke hearts, 4 ounces room-temperature cream cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, and salt and pepper to taste. Cut off the tops of 8 dinner rolls and hollow out the insides. Fill with the dip and serve with veggies.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Using a serrated knife, slice about 1 inch off the top crust of the Italian bread. Carefully tear out the insides of the loaf, leaving about 3/4-inch of bread to form a shell. Put the loaf on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle inside with some olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake until slightly crispy, about 10 minutes. Cool on a baking rack while you make the eggs. Preheat the broiler.
• Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until golden brown. Remove the sausage to a paper-towel-lined plate.
• Add the onion and the green and red peppers to the skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Reduce the heat slightly, then add the chiles, sausage, parsley and basil; toss to combine. Stir in the eggs and about two-thirds of the provolone and cook, stirring, until the eggs just begin to set, less than 1 minute.
• Pour the egg mixture into the bread shell and top with the Parmesan and the remaining provolone. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the eggs are just cooked through, about 3 minutes. (You can use a cake tester to check--insert it into the eggs to see if it comes out with raw egg on it.)
• Transfer to a cutting board, let set for 1 or 2 minutes, and then slice into 4 to 6 wedges.

Steps:

• Stir tomatoes, basil, 3 tablespoons olive oil, red onion, garlic, red wine vinegar, and pepper together in a bowl; let tomato mixture stand at room temperature for 15 minutes, then place in the refrigerator to marinate for 45 minutes.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Brush one side of each slice of bread with remaining olive oil. Place bread slices, oiled-side-up, onto a baking sheet.
• Broil until golden brown, about 2 minutes; remove from oven. Spoon tomato mixture evenly over the top of toasted bread slices; drizzle balsamic vinegar evenly over tomato mixture. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a bowl, toss together the tomatoes, basil, Parmesan cheese, and garlic. Mix in the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper. Serve on toasted bread slices.
