Notes
- Ciabatta bread is the most common for bruschetta. But I prefer a French baguette.
- Do not skip the grilling/toasting step on the bread. This will ensure that the bread will hold up to the topping and adds an extra layer of texture.
- If you have fresh Italian parsley, certainly swap that out for the dried parsley. However, don't swap the other fresh herbs and spices for dried. This will provide so much fresh flavor that you'll want more and more of this homemade bruschetta.
