Should you find yourself hungry for simple and delicious during these warm weather days, Minty Pea and Boursin Bruschetta is your answer!


Ingredients

Scale

4 slices dense Italian bread

2 large cloves garlic cut in half, lengthwise

1/2 cup olive oil, divided

4 oz. Boursin cheese

Juice and zest of 1/2 lemon

2 cups fresh peas (or frozen, thawed)

3 sprigs of mint, roughly chopped

Salt and cracked black pepper


Instructions

  1. For the bruschetta, prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill or barbecue for direct grilling.
  2. Arrange the slices in a single layer on the grill rack.
  3. Once they are golden crispy and a little bit charred around the edges, flip them. (3 – 4 minutes per side.)
  4. Transfer bread to a platter and immediately rub the garlic halves over one side of the bread and brush lightly with olive oil.
  5. In the meantime, in a small bowl, combine peas, mint lemon juice, zest, salt and pepper.
  6. Build the bruschetta by topping the grilled bread with Boursin and the pea mixture.
  7. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil and lemon juice and serve.
