Recipe Notes and Variations
- For a Mexican twist, replace the basil with some cilantro and add a squeeze of lime and a dash of chili flakes.
- If you’re just making a small batch or it’s just too hot to turn on your oven, you could easily make bruschetta in your toaster oven!
- After your bruschetta, we recommend the Vegan Pumpkin Ricotta or the Spring Onion and Asparagus Gnocchi with Burrata
