Today the impossible has happened.
I have actually eaten healthy.
So some of you might be familiar with what a Bruschetta is, right?
A slice of roasted bread, with some olive oil, oregano and tomato on top.
Not difficult to make, but still a bit dull.
So what did we do here to make things a bit better.
Well first of all we got ourselves some decent Italian bread, this is called a "crocodile" by the baker, due to its shape, nice and was baked in a wooden oven.
Then we got some actual mozzarella cheese, good quality is essential here too.
Then we got some oregano(dried) and some fresh basil leaf, which I picked from the plant I have outside on my terrace.
We then proceeded with putting some olive oil, extra virgin, just like a World of Warcraft player on top of the bread, then added some sliced mozzarella and some oregano on top. Put this in an oven in grill mode to let the cheese melt and the bread brown a little.
That's what we ended up with, nice toasted bread, with slighly melted cheese on top, oregano and basil to add a little of that Mediterranean flavour people in Islington pay nine quid for.
Here is with the addition of a few olives, as olives are always good.
Better view of our work:
Now we just have to get the other slice of bread covered in melted cheese and we're almost done.
We're almost done, a few tweaks and our quick meal is ready
Now it's elementary stuff, but the melted cheese side on top and enjoy your sandwich.
Yep that's it, doesn't excessively good, but I enjoyed it and it has been a nice break from bacon!
See you next time, hopefully lard and pork will feature more...
