Bruschette are simple to make and you can top them with just about anything you can find in your cupboard! As with most Italian recipes the ingredients are simple but they must be the best quality that you can afford – this is especially true of the olive oil which is pretty much always drizzled over the bruschetta or mixed with the topping. Try to keep a bottle of the best extra virgin olive oil for salads and bruschette and cook with a cheaper variation!
