Bruschetta pronounced (bru’sketta) is an appetizer from Italy.  Bruschetta usually consists of grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with olive oil and salt.  My daughter  made  two delicious bruschettas.

2 French baguette. Slice the bread diagonally into 1/2 inch pieces.  Brush each slice, on one side, with olive oil and toast in the oven until lightly brown on both sides.  Top evenly with the following ingredients.

Pesto Bruschetta: 1 pound Roma tomatoes, seeded and thinly sliced, 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onions, fresh shaved Parmesan set aside.  In a bowl mix   1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon Uno oil, 1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic.  2 tablespoons pesto and 2 tablespoons capers, drained.  Assemble:  Spread the Uno oil mixture on the toasted bread.   Liberally spread the pesto.  Add a slice of tomato, a slice of onion, capers and Parmesan.

Salami Bruschetta: 20 arugula leaves, 2 large sliced avocados, 20 slices hard salami. In a bowl mix   1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon Uno oil, 1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic. Assemble:  Spread the Uno oil mixture on the toasted bread. Layer arugula, avocado, salami.

These bruschettas are served with champagne and white wine.  Get your guest ready for the main dish.  What are you gonna make for your next guest dinner?
