SUMMER BRUSCHETTA

March 31, 2015 by Carisa

Bruschetta from Messes to Memories

I am super excited to share this recipe with you! It is fresh, fun and absolutely delicious.

Normally I think of Bruschetta as a special occasion appetizer, but it is actually super healthy and can be great as a quick snack or pick me up!

Bruschetta Snack from Messes to Memories

Just make an extra big batch of your Bruschetta and you can save it in the fridge. Then all you have to do is toast your bread and toss your bruschetta mixture on top.

Don’t toast too many slices because you will not be able to stop!!

The perfect summer snack is Bruschetta with a Balsamic Glaze from Messes to Memories

The secret to this amazing Bruschetta is the glaze!!! Seriously. I’ve never had Bruschetta with a glaze until this last Valentine’s day when I was looking for unique Bruschetta combinations!

Summer Bruschetta from Messes to Memories

I will never make Bruschetta without the glaze again…

    This looks amazing! And I’ve never thought of saving the topping in the fridge and then just making some when I want later. GREAT IDEA!
