8 ounces fresh farmer's cheese
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest

Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Really yummy!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I saw Bobby make this and wanted to try it right away. I had everything except Farmer's Cheese, but I did have cottage... cheese. It worked beautifully. I did it in the blender because my food processor was in the dishwasher. That worked fine too. It really needs the tsp of salt. Don't skimp. The fresh basil and lemon zest really work in this. It's soooo good!Read more

Cheese

I would like to know if a cheese other than Farmers cheese can be used? The Bruschetta is very good. Ella
