Keld’s Christmas hors d’oeuvres

Keld asked me to post this. This is a little something he whipped up, and it was quite tasty.

  • 1 loaf Italian sourdough bread, sliced and toasted
  • 1 package dehydrated sun-dried tomatoes
  • pear juice (or any kind of juice, wine or water)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2-3 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • sliced onion (we did it raw, but I would try sauteing or caramelizing as well)
  • sliced roast beef (leave out if vegetarian)
  • cottage cheese
  • thyme, oregano, cumin

Rehydrate the tomatoes by adding enough pear juice (or whatever) to barely cover them and microwaving 30 seconds or until soft. Mince the tomatoes with the garlic and add this back to any remaining juice. Mix in the olive oil and salt and pepper. Garnish the toast with the tomato mixture and the remaining ingredients and enjoy!

As a side note, I would maybe put this back in the oven under the broiler for a minuted to melt and brown the cheese. Also, I would suggest trying a variation with prosciutto and mozzarella cheese for the roast beef and cottage cheese, if you happen to have any lying around.
