What’s more romantic for Valentine’s Day than a date night at home? Ok, we bet you can think of a few things, but why not skip the stress of a big night out and ditch the hectic restaurant for a romantic dinner in with your S.O.? We teamed up with Hunt’s®tomatoes and Alexia® Foods to break Valentine’s Day tradition in favor of cooking up a beautiful and easy meal at home so you can spend more time enjoying your food than prepping it – but then again, that’s part of the fun too, right?!
We used Hunt’s®tomatoes Petite Diced Tomatoes to make one DELICIOUS (and super quick!) Bruschetta recipe. We feel especially good about using Hunt’s® tomatoes, as they’re are grown in sunny California and canned within hours of being picked. Here’s how we made our favorite app. Make sure and check out Laura in the Kitchen’s perfect V-Day recipe for a simple dinner to go with!
Ingredients:
1 loaf bread
1/2 cup olive oil
1 can (14.5 oz each) Hunt’s® Petite Diced Tomatoes, drained
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (2 cups = 8 oz)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush both sides of each bread slice with oil. Place slices on baking sheet; bake 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
2. Combine tomatoes, onion, basil, garlic, salt and pepper; mix well. Spoon evenly divided portions onto each slice of toast. Sprinkle with cheese.
3. Bake 3 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
