Instructions Italian bruschetta with broccoli rabe

  • Cut your bread into rather thin slices. Toast them in a preheated static oven at 200 ° C until they become crunchy. I have created 18 small bruschetta perfect to be eaten with one bite.
  • In a non-stick pan, heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Add a clove of garlic 130 g of frozen broccoli (or you can use previously cleaned and blanched broccoli rabe). Salt, pepper and sauté everything until they become tender. Set them aside. Once they are at room temperature, chop them coarsely.
  • While you wait for your broccoli rabe, prepare the cheese spread. Mix 100 g of cream cheese with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust with more salt and pepper if necessary.
  • Rub each piece of bruschetta with a clove of garlic. Divide the spread between all the bruschetta and garnish with the cooked broccoli rabe. If you like, add a pinch of chili powder or chili flakes and serve.
