Do you ever find yourself in need of an appetizer to bring to an after- work event or Friday night get-together?

You can quickly make a batch the night before, letting the flavors mingle together throughout the day. And the only thing you’ll need to pick up is a baguette for serving!
Although I’ve tried a few other recipes, this Easy Bruschetta is the one I keep coming back to.
Loaded with plump, ripe tomatoes and seasoned with fresh minced garlic and basil leaves, it’s a taste of summer on a slice of baguette.
