Brazilian Sandwich - Bruschetta with Chorizo & Mascarpone Cheese
Brazilian food is a real fusion of cultures combined together. This Brazilian sandwich recipe has influences from the Southern Mediterranean in particular Italy.
The basis of the sandwich is the baguette topped with cheese, chorizo, along with cherry tomatoes and garlic butter. Sprinkled on top with some fresh basil leaf.
How to Make a Brazilian Sandwich
To start we’ll make the garlic butter. Take 1 oz of butter (28 grams) and melt gently in a small pan. Add one clove of chopped garlic and a tablespoon of olive oil. Leave on a medium heat until the garlic has combined with the butter and oil well.
Cut the baguette down the middle and fold open. Using a pastry brush if you have one, brush the garlic butter fairly evenly along the cut side of the bread.
Now for the chorizo. Chop around 200 grams of chorizo into small chunks. You can buy your chorizo already diced if you wish.
Place the chorizo in a medium hot pan with a splash of olive oil and heat for several minutes to release all those spicy flavors.
Take the cooked chorizo and spread on top of the garlic infused baguette. Add a layer of mascarpone cheese cut into large slices.
Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese on top and finally add some half cut cherry tomatoes.
Place the sandwich under the grill for around 12 minutes until the cheese has melted.
Remember to keep and eye on the sandwich whilst under the grill.
Finally top with some fresh basil leaf and serve. Now to enjoy this delicious hot bruschetta sandwich!
