How To Make the Best Bruschetta

It doesn’t take much to make the best bruschetta.  Give me good quality bread, fresh garlic, olive oil and pesto and I am the luckiest girl in the world.

To make the best bruschetta you will need good quality ingredients all around.  Baguettes and french loaves are great to use as they have a nice crispy crusts. You can also use homemade ciabatta to make delicious crostini appetizers.

First, cut thick slices of rustic bread and place on your baking tray.  Next drizzle the bruschetta with a good quality olive oil and grill in the oven until it starts to toast. I love to crack open a garlic clove and rub the bruschetta with some crushed garlic before I place it back in the oven to toast.

Simply serve with more olive oil and a good balsamic vinegar as a dipping condiment. However since I am THAT girl I prefer a freshly made pesto or a tasty dukkah on the side.

So, for this recipe of Brown Mushrooms, Pepper and Coriander Pesto Bruschetta, I combined a few of my favourite ingredients to enjoy on bruschetta.

First off saute the garlic in some butter in a saucepan until fragrant.  Next add the black mushrooms (divine) and fry off until soft. And that’s your topping sorted! However I didn’t stop there because I made the most delicious and quick coriander pesto in minutes. Finally you top it off with a quick fresh pepper salsa and parmesan.
