Gorgonzola and Redcurrant Panettone Bruschette

Category: Appetizers
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Panettone (leftover) 4 slices
Gorgonzola cheese 100g
Mascarpone cheese 120g
Redcurrants (fresh) 4
Balsamic glaze to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Panettone:
    Start by cutting the leftover panettone into thick slices, approximately 1–2 cm each. If you have a pre-sliced panettone, simply cut it into chunks or squares based on your preference.

  2. Toast the Panettone:
    Heat a grill pan or a flat skillet over medium heat. Place the panettone slices on the hot surface and toast them for a few minutes on each side until golden and crisp, but not overly dry. The goal is to achieve a slight crunch while keeping the inside soft.

  3. Make the Cheese Cream:
    While the panettone is toasting, remove the rind from the gorgonzola cheese and cut it into small cubes. In a mixing bowl, combine the gorgonzola with mascarpone cheese. Use a spatula or fork to mash and mix the cheeses together until they form a creamy, spreadable consistency.

  4. Assemble the Bruschette:
    Once the panettone slices are toasted, spread a generous amount of the creamy gorgonzola and mascarpone mixture over each slice using a spatula or knife. Make sure each slice is evenly covered with the creamy cheese spread.

  5. Garnish and Serve:
    Top the bruschette with fresh redcurrants, placing a few berries on each piece for a burst of color and tangy flavor. Drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze over the top for added depth and a hint of sweetness.

  6. Ready to Serve:
    Your Gorgonzola and Redcurrant Panettone Bruschette are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a unique and delicious appetizer for your next gathering.

These bruschette combine the sweet, soft panettone with the creamy richness of gorgonzola and mascarpone, complemented by the fresh tartness of redcurrants and the savory-sweet finish of balsamic glaze. It’s a perfect balance of flavors and textures that will impress your guests!


Enjoy this delightful twist on traditional bruschette! Ideal for special occasions or simply as a gourmet snack.
