Bruschetta

 
 
Bruschetta is a simple and delicious Italian appetizer that requires little preparation and can be ready in minutes to enjoy, before a meal or even as a light supper.

Once in a while, when we do go out to eat (usually it's an Italian or Mediterranean restaurant) we like to enjoy some bruschetta while waiting for our meal, but I found it quite filling, as I can never finish my plate of food afterwards...but then again, I have a made lunch for next day :-)  so no biggie. I still like to enjoy some bruschetta when we go out but I do enjoy making it at home whenever I can. It's fast, easy and delicious!

Enjoy!
