Bruschetta – A Hot or Cold Appetizer for a Warm or Chilly Fall Night

The seasons are changing. For some of us, that means dropping weather, changing leaves, and warm soups and stews. For others (like us in So Cal), we aren’t experiencing much of a weather change yet and may not for a while! It was 103º, feels like 107º today. Ha. But, here is a bruschetta recipe for either experience, one that can be made as a cold or hot appetizer.

What You Need:

1 Loaf of Whole Wheat French Bread

4 Tomatoes

2 TBS, 2 tsp Olive Oil

2 tsp Balsamic

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1/4 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp Pepper

Sliced Mozzarella Cheese (For the Hot Bruschetta)

How to:

1. Chop the tomatoes and place in a bowl.

2. Add the olive oil, balsamic, and seasonings. Stir and refrigerate.

FOR HOT BRUSCHETTA:
3. Preheat oven to 275º. Line a cookie sheet with foil. Slice the bread- Slice in half again if you want this appetizer to be more bite-size and place onto the cookie sheet. Place a scoop of the bruschetta mix onto the bread and top with a slice of mozzarella. Bake for 3-5 minutes.

 FOR COLD BRUSCHETTA:
3. Toast slices of the french bread. Place a scoop of the bruschetta mix onto the bread and it is ready to eat.
