White Bean Bruschetta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Goat Cheese and Basil

Prep 10 min
Total 1 hr 10 min
Ingredients 10
Servings 4

Sun-dried tomatoes can add another flavor profile to your favorite foods. They're a tasty complement to bold flavors such as goat cheese, but can also give frittatas, pizza and bread a unique spin. I love to add them to my white bean salad because the flavor and presentation all goes perfectly on a toasted slice of French bread. You can find canned, jarred or bagged sun-dried tomatoes at your local supermarket. They're convenient to cook with because they come ready to serve and no prep is needed.

Ingredients

3/4 cup canned white beans, unsalted, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup olive oil
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 bay leaf, crumbled
1/3 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
1/2 lime, juiced
Salt and pepper to taste
2 ozs goat cheese, crumbled
8-10 fresh basil leaves
1 small French baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch slices, toasted
