Broccoli and Cheese Bruschetta

Broccoli and cheese bruschetta is a vibrant hot appetizer made of baguette slices topped with vegetables under a golden cheese crust. It comes together in fifteen minutes and spends just ten in the oven. Juicy, pretty, and truly mouthwatering - I recommend it!

Notes

I use frozen broccoli - pre-boiled florets that are only half done.

Tips

• Broccoli - frozen and pre-boiled until half done works well, it'll finish cooking in the oven.
• Sauce: any kind works - I simply spread mayonnaise on the baguette.
• A pinch of sugar on the cherry tomatoes brings out their flavor and cuts the extra tartness.
• Serve right away - bruschetta tastes best hot, while the cheese is still stretchy.
