Bruschetta



Grilled Bread, in-season veggies, fresh herbs, creamy cheese.  A delicious way to enjoy the foods of our summer season.  Of course the classic Plum Tomato-Basil-Garlic topping is a must, but think outside of the box too. Step away from this standby and try something different from the famers market, chop it up and top a sliced baguette - you will love this just as much.  Here's a few ideas:

Heirloom tomatoes - each have their own unique flavor - mix it up.
Grilled Veggies - Onions, zucchini, eggplant.....
Cucumber - add in complementary fresh herbs like Mint or Dill
Local cheese - Chèvre with honey or creamy sheep.
   - top with some Shaved Beets or Carrots
Roasted Red Peppers - do this at home for the best flavor
Sautéed Greens
Melon and aged cheese
The possibilities are endless.  Walk the market and be inspired about what might top a great bruschetta.
