October 29, 2020 By Jessica Leave a Comment

Amp up your appetizer game with this fun spin on a traditional tomato bruschetta. So easy and delish, you’ll want to make over and over again.

Tomato Bruschetta

When you’re looking for a super simple appetizer to feed your guests, it can’t get easier than bruschetta. I’m a huge advocate for this dish. It requires minimal cooking, only takes a few minutes to prepare and tastes phenomenal. It’s a win-win situation for everyone, folks.

I’m a big fan of hot honey. Pair it with blue cheese over tomato bruschetta and you’ve got me smitten.

I originally met Red Clay at the Winter Fancy Food Show in San Francisco. They make an assortment of hot sauces in addition to their hot honey. Their verde works flawlessly in my Irish Pub Cheese. Try it, I promise you’ll swoon. Plus, it’s a great recipe for the upcoming holidays!

When serving bruschetta, I like to present each ingredient separately on a tray or cutting board. This way each person can build their own crostini to their personal preferences. Added Bonus: the crostini’s stay crunchy and fresh!

NOTES ON TOMATO BRUSCHETTA:

  • I love the mix of tomatoes and blue cheese, but let your creativity wander! This also tastes great with sliced pears, chopped figs and even Granny Smith apples. 
  • I used a traditional basil pesto with this recipe, but my Almond Pesto and Roasted Pistachio Pesto work great as well! Not a fan of pesto? Try my Roasted Red Pepper Sauce as a base! 
  • This recipe also works marvelously over crackers, rye crips or pre-toasted crostini’s. If you’re short on time, you can defiantly substitute with these and skip the toasting.
