Bruschetta

Of course, toast is best made in the toaster. But why settle for a straightforward breakfast side? There are countless options for toasting bread than just spreading it with butter and jelly. In fact, toasters can be a great help with the appetizers during dinner parties. The ideal crowd-pleaser, bruschetta (also known as crostini) is one of those delicacies that you can customize to your heart's content and is simple and quick to make using a toaster.

Basically, just slice up some bread as if you were going to make standard toast; any loaf would serve, but Busby's Bakery claims that hearty rustic varieties, like ciabatta, are preferable. Before toasting the bread, drizzling it with extra-virgin olive oil contributes to the distinctive crunch of bruschetta. Once nicely golden brown, you may decorate and layer your bruschetta any way you choose, from a traditional recipe with tomatoes on top to strawberries, fresh mozzarella, butternut squash, and more.
