Hummus with Fresh Bruschetta
This simple shortcut recipe tastes just like you would find at any fine restaurant and is full of freshness and so, so easy to prepare anytime. Enjoy this hummus with fresh bruschetta anytime with my shortcut recipe.
One of my most favorite appetizers to order when eating out is bruschetta. So many restaurants serve it nowadays. It’s usually served on crusty bread like a baguette, Italian or French bread. Even on crackers. A few times someone in my family has ordered bruschetta chicken. It was really delicious. So delicious, I had to copy it at home. I used the instant pot for ease and convenience. Here’s the link for Instant Pot Chicken Bruschetta I love anything made with fresh vegetables and of course garlic.
This is the most simple throw together recipe. That’s why I call it a shortcut recipe. Since tomatoes are the star in bruschetta I use cherry or grape tomatoes for their sweetness and since you can find these in your local market all year round, you’ll be able to make this wonderful recipe whenever you want to. Also, I used a real shortcut. Check out the recipe and see what I’m talking about. It’s my new favorite find and I love it so much, I got a bunch of my friends and family to use these products as well. So great in many recipes. Make yourself some fresh bruschetta soon. It’s freshness at it’s best.
