Jump to RecipeIngredients & Notes:
I love this recipe because you will not need a lot of ingredients to get started and barely any equipment. An oven, baking sheet and something to spread the bruschetta and cheese on your toast pieces will get you from start to finish! I like to use my Gotham Steel crisper tray, available on Amazon or in store retailers. If you don’t have one, a parchment-lined baking tray will work fine.
As for ingredients, you need a bread of your choice (I love a french baguette for ease of slicing), fresh or thawed from frozen raspberries (note, frozen will be softer so if you like your berries firmer, opt for fresh), fresh basil and ricotta cheese. With the addition of a few other items, you will have a delicious appetizer ready to go.
Substitutions or Variations
If you don’t like raspberries or want to experiment with a different flavor, there are many other fruits that come together with this recipe with delicious results.
Consider swapping the raspberries for other berries like blueberries or sweet strawberries. You can even try cherries or peaches if you would prefer those!
Serving Suggestions
This treat makes a wonderful appetizer or snack. I’ve had raspberry bruschetta for a light vegetarian meal in itself as well.
If you are looking to pair the dish up with something, here’s some yummy suggestions:
Pair it with a citrus drink to bring out more of the lemon juice with the raspberries. Lemonade goes perfectly with it.
Serve it alongside a hearty bowl of minestrone soup or give my Hamburger Soup recipe a try!
If soup isn’t your craving, consider pairing the bruschetta with your favorite pizza recipe.
Storage Tips
To store this treat effectively, the raspberry basil mix can be stored up to 4 days in the fridge in an air tight container. I don’t recommend storing ready made slices of bread with the ricotta and raspberry mixture on top, store the three things separately for best results!
