Vegan Bruschetta - 3 Ways
Updated: Jul 1
A delicious appetizer or snack - crispy toasted bread, with tomatoes and herbs. hummus and grilled aubergine and vegan camembert and spicy pickle.
It is new years eve and we are starting the celebrations with bruschetta (3 ways), olives, roasted nuts and blood orange mimosas. Delicious, fresh and easy!
WHAT IS BRUSCHETTA?
Originated in Italy, it is an antipasto usually made with toasted bread, which is rubbed with fresh garlic and traditionally topped with tomatoes and herbs or simply drizzled with olive oil and sea salt.
HOW TO MAKE VEGAN BRUSCHETTA
These are super quick and easy to make.
Slice the bread and toast until golden and crispy. This can be done either in a toaster or under the grill in the oven, which is my preferred option.
Cut a fresh garlic clove in half and rub onto the warm, toasted bread for an extra layer of flavour. This step is optional, but highly recommended.
Top with your favourite toppings.
WHAT IS THE BEST BREAD TO USE?
Sourdough baguettes, Italian or French baguette, ciabatta or sourdough loaves work wonderful. Cheaper store-bought white or brown breads are too soft to use for this and can get soggy rather quickly. Therefor a bread that holds its shape works best for this.
For gluten-free option, use a gluten-free bread.
Today I used an olive sourdough loaf, which combined absolutely divine with the toppings we chose.
