I happened to work part time in an Italian restaurant one time and I make a mean bruschetta. Here are 3 quick Italian bruschetta toppings for the perfect lunch or brunch.

The basics you need are bread, tomatoes, garlic and olive oil for the classic bruschetta base. I am incorporating avocado, mozzarella and basil since I decided to jazz it up a bit. You can use baguette or a loaf and it can be white or wholegrain. I like to toast mine but you don’t have to toast the bread if you are in a rush.

This is quick to whip together and tastes divine. A lovely healthy and tasty Mediterranean snack that fills you up!

Recipe Notes

You can drizzle some balsamic vinegar over them for a little extra flavour if you like!

Grated fresh parmesan is a good choice too.

This really is an ideal summer recipe and it is nice and light but also filling. Hope you enjoy and let me know in the comments or give me a rating. I love hearing your feedback!
