With social life put on hold for the past few months, I'm slowly starting to have friends over again, and it feels really good!
I saw summer coming, without happy hour or wine and friday, and it was simply inconceivable. What a relief to finally be able to see each other in person, enjoy the nice weather and take out my Weber Kettle BBQ for the summer season!
When the sun comes out, I come out of hibernation. If I could, I would sunbathe 365 days a year. So when it finally gets warm, I let my imagination run wild for original summer recipes that will please all my guests. With the heatwave coming up in the next few days, I thought of a fresh recipe, full of flavor, that will go wonderfully with your aperitif ( by the way, have you seen our smoky summer cocktail? ? That will impress your guests, and make a change from vodka and soda… ;)
So here is my bruschetta recipe, with Grilled haloumi from Fromages le Bédouin . If you haven't tried haloumi grilling cheese yet, this is going to be your BBQ revelation of 2020! A slightly salty cheese that grills perfectly without melting on the BBQ, to add to salads, sandwiches and skewers.
Serving: 2
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:

-
To book.
-
Coat the Appalachian flank steak and grill on the BBQ.
-
Remove the flank steak once ready, cut into thin, short strips, and set aside.
-
Oil the slices of bread and grill on the BBQ.
-
At the same time, slice the haloumi and grill on the BBQ. When it comes off quite well, turn and grill on the other side.
-
Once the bread and haloumi are well toasted, still on the BBQ, put the cheese on the bread, then the vegetable mixture, and finally place the beef on top.
Now it's ready to serve! A beautiful simple appetizer, but full of flavor with your favorite ingredients and spices!
Enjoy the sun and the precious moments with friends!
