Recipe Notes
For your bruschetta toppings, you can easily mix and match the vegetables and other ingredients. And if you like, you can even add some meat!
Also, if you prefer a richer flavor, you can also substitute your olive oil with butter.
Depending on how big you want your bruschetta to be, you can just cut your baguette accordingly. If you're going for bite-sized pieces, you can cut your baguette in half before slicing. And if you're after bigger slices, simply cut them diagonally into ¼-inch slices.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prevent my baguette bread from getting soggy?
You can make your baguette toasts 3 days ahead before serving as long as you store them in an airtight container. Just remember to add in your toppings just before serving them because it can make your baguette soggy. We also suggest serving the toppings and toasted bread separately for your guests to assemble. This way your bruschetta won’t get soggy and your guests can enjoy them the way they want it!
Do I eat bruschetta with my hands?
Since bruschetta is an open-faced sandwich, we eat it with our hands. It’s a light finger food and it’s filling enough to be a light entree. Since we usually have a hearty amount of toppings on our toasted bread they can fall off when taking a bite. Our tip to eating it neatly would be to hold a cup or napkin with your other hand to catch whatever falls off your bruschetta. This way you can fully enjoy it and stay poised at your party.
