This is SO tasty, especially when served on a freshly toasted baguette or crusty French bread slices.
We don’t often splurge on those extra “carbs”, but the bread really makes this dish! However, if you are watching your carbohydrates, then try this bruschetta on scrambled eggs, or even in an omelette. The recipe is similar to our Fresh Tomatoes with Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar, but the ingredients are chopped a little more finely and designed to be a used as a “topping”.
