My favourite go-to started when dining out is bruschetta. Fresh and crunchy and so delicious, I have always wanted to try it making it at home. I present you an easy, and quick way to make bruschetta at home.
I was working on my adaptation of the gluten-free and vegan focaccia recipe which is rosemary and garlic, and while I was taking the photos for the blog, and smelling the crispy focaccia, basil, and local cherry tomatoes, I quickly mixed up some bruschetta and had a delicious afternoon snack!
Bruschetta is the star on every table. It is a great appetizer, as a starter, a snack.
The bruschetta on the photos is served on my homemade gluten-free and vegan Focaccia recipe with rosemary and garlic.

Directions

Tips: If you use my focaccia recipe, I do not suggest you add more garlic in the bruschetta.
You can also add finely chopped Maltese olives or black olives to give the mixture a Mediterranean/ greek touch.
