The Griddler® Deluxe’s independently heated plates make the perfect bruschetta easy,

keeping bread warm on the bottom while melting cheese on top.

Griddler® Deluxe Cooking Position: Flat and Closed

Plate Side: Grill Makes 16 bruschetta

16 slices (½-inch thick) French bread (baguette)

4tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided, plus 1 teaspoon

1pint grape tomatoes, quartered (about 1½ cups)

½ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

6small garlic cloves, chopped

3medium fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced (chiffonade)

½ ounce Parmesan, grated or finely shredded

1.Fit the Griddler® Deluxe with the grill plates and preheat both plates to 450˚F.

2.Using 2 tablespoons of the oil, brush all the bread on both sides. Once the unit has preheated, put all pieces of oiled bread onto the hot plates and grill about 3 to 5 minutes per side, until lightly browned.

3.While bread is grilling, prepare topping. In a small bowl, stir together the tomatoes, salt, pepper, garlic and basil with the remaining oil.

4.Keeping the upper plate at 450˚F, reduce the lower plate to Warm. Move all toasted bread to the lower plate and distribute the tomato mixture evenly on each piece, then top with the Parmesan. Setting the cover height adjuster at the highest notch, close the upper plate until it is sitting just above the Parmesan, but not touching it. Let the bruschetta cook until the cheese is just melted, about 5 minutes.

5.Serve immediately.
