**Olive Bruschetta: A Classic Italian Appetizer**
Bruschetta is a classic Italian appetizer that is both simple to make and bursting with flavor. This versatile dish can be made with a variety of toppings, but the combination of fresh tomatoes, basil, and olive oil is a timeless classic. In this article, we'll share two delicious recipes for olive bruschetta: a classic version and a more modern take with roasted tomatoes and goat cheese. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy snack or an elegant party appetizer, olive bruschetta is sure to please everyone at your table.
**Classic Olive Bruschetta:**
This classic recipe features fresh tomatoes, basil, and olive oil. The tomatoes are diced and combined with chopped basil, minced garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil. The mixture is then spooned onto toasted baguette slices and sprinkled with salt and pepper.
**Roasted Tomato and Goat Cheese Bruschetta:**
This modern twist on classic bruschetta features roasted tomatoes and goat cheese. The tomatoes are roasted until caramelized and then combined with creamy goat cheese, chopped basil, and a drizzle of honey. The mixture is then spread onto toasted baguette slices and drizzled with olive oil.
Both of these recipes are incredibly easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. For example, if you like a spicy bruschetta, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato mixture. Or, if you're a fan of garlic, you can add an extra clove or two to the classic recipe. No matter how you choose to make it, olive bruschetta is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.

MUSHROOM OLIVE BRUSCHETTA
After experimenting with different ingredients and flavor combinations, I came up with this variation on traditional tomato-based bruschetta. I've also used this recipe as a stuffing for chicken breast, and sometimes will add a little feta cheese. You can make it ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator, but be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving-that's how it tastes best! -Colleen Blasetti, Palm Coast, Florida

MUSHROOM AND OLIVE BRUSCHETTA
I tried this delicious bruschetta toast at a party and knew I had to make it myself. Since I couldn't find the person who brought the dish, I began trying to duplicate it on my own. The original was made on an English muffin, but party rye or baguette slices work as well. -Lynne German, Woodland Hills, California

CHEESE & OLIVE BRUSCHETTA
I've never had anyone turn these down. They are so easy to make and the results are always good. Try these after the game or after a winter outdoors event. I have been told that the recipe was originally from a Company's Coming cook book- I am not sure where I found it. I love Company's Coming cookbooks so that is likely where I saw it.

Tips:

- Slice the bread properly: Cut the bread into 1/2-inch thick slices on a diagonal. This will give you a larger surface area for the toppings and make the bruschetta easier to eat.
- Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it to become crispy and flavorful. You can toast the bread in a toaster, oven, or on a grill.
- Choose fresh, flavorful toppings: The toppings are what really make bruschetta shine. Use fresh, seasonal ingredients that are packed with flavor. Some popular topping options include tomatoes, basil, mozzarella cheese, olives, and olive oil.
- Don't overcrowd the bruschetta: When assembling the bruschetta, don't pile on too many toppings. You want each bite to have a balance of flavors and textures.
- Serve immediately: Bruschetta is best served immediately after it is made. The bread will start to get soggy if it sits for too long.
