Bruschetta - Traditional Italian Appetizer

Bruschetta is a traditional Italian antipasto of toasted baguette drizzled with garlic olive oil, topped with all kinds of delicious toppings. I recommend three variations at once: with tomatoes and basil, with tuna and olives, and with soft cheese and cured ham. Enjoy!

Tips

• You can toast the baguette not only on a grill pan but also in the oven.
• Choose the topping to your taste: prosciutto, vegetables, fish, soft cheeses, and herbs.
