I’ve had a lot enjoyable experimenting this summer time with totally different takes on bruschetta.

You may sometimes discover bruschetta at Italian eating places — grilled bread toasted with olive oil and topped with a combination of tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, balsamic, and even meats and cheeses.

Instantly drizzle over the feta bruschetta dip.

If the glaze thickens an excessive amount of, merely reheat till it has thinned and will be simply drizzled. Retailer any leftover glaze in an hermetic container within the fridge for as much as 3 months. We prefer to apply it to pizza, grilled rooster, caprese salads, fruit, and extra.
