Bruschetta is one of my favourite entree/snacks. As soon as I seen the RSC #10 ingredients I instantly thought BRUSCHETTA. You can choose any type of white bread you like but it needs to be thick.

Steps:
- Combine bruschetta ingredients. This can be done several hours in advance. Set aside.
- Combine scallop ingredients and marinate for about 15-30 minutes.
- Grill scallops until done -- do NOT overcook. We use a pan with holes made for the grill, but can also put on k-bobs. Alternatively can sear inside in a skillet.
- Meanwhile, drizzle a SMALL amount of oil on bread slices and toast until golden and crispy. Can toast in toaster oven or on grill.
- Place one scallop on each toast slice. Top with bruschetta. Garnish with basil sprig.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are firm and plump, with a slightly briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Sear the scallops properly. Scallops should be seared over high heat until they are golden brown and slightly caramelized on the outside, but still translucent and tender on the inside. Do not overcook the scallops, or they will become tough and rubbery.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients you use, the better your bruschetta will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, fresh basil, and a good quality olive oil.
- Assemble the bruschetta just before serving. This will prevent the bread from getting soggy. If you need to make the bruschetta ahead of time, you can toast the bread and store it in an airtight container at room temperature. Then, assemble the bruschetta with the toppings just before serving.
Conclusion:
Scallop bruschetta is a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that will impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
