EASY BRUSCHETTA DIP
I created this on a whim and served it at my annual 2007 Christmas hors d'oeuvres party for my friends. I was planning to make traditional bruschetta but was worried it would get cold or soggy before all my guests arrived. It's simple and a convenient way to serve bruschetta in a party setting.
