A Fun Bruschetta Recipe, Italian Style!
A weekend of watching sports on TV is awesome, especially when you get into themore important games around play off time, but when we get right down to it – it’s the food that makes watching all that TV more fun.
We usually get a bunch of apps together instead of a big meal, that way you can taste all the food and not get too filled up on one thing. So whether you’ve got wings or nachos or pizza, you can have it all.
One of my favorite appetizers to eat is bruschetta. We’ve done a few recipes here on the site like this Chicken Satay Bruschetta or thisWhipped Feta Bruschetta. I’m always looking for different ways to make it though, andthis Italian Sub Bruschetta is just one of the ideas I came up with.
Believe me, I’ve got TONS more.
Take all the flavors of your favorite Italian Sub sandwich and pile it on a toasted piece of bread…it’s crazy good. No soggy bread here since you pile on the toppings with each bruschetta bite, so the bread stays super crispy.
How To Make Italian Sub Bruschetta
We’re going to be making a big batch of this for all the holiday parties coming up. This bruschetta recipe is also perfect for games days and tailgating though, too!
The key to this recipe is making sure you dice up all the ingredients small, and around the same size. You want to be able to pile this on top of the bread and have it stay on, not fall off into a pile on your plate. So get in there and start chopping!
All that’s left to do after that is to get it in the fridge for a while so the flavors can come together. Toast up some bread, get a bag of shredded lettuce and you’re ready for game time.
Can You Make This Italian Sub Bruschetta Ahead Of Time?
I like to serve this Italian Sub Bruschetta in a large bowl with abowl of the shredded lettuce on the side thenlet everyone assemble as they eat. Make your friends work once in a while for their food – you did all that chopping.
And like I said before – no one likes soggy bread so it’s best to make these up as you eat them! But you can toast the bread before hand too and store it in a resealable bag or a container until you’re ready.
Definitely make the bruschetta topping ahead of time, even a day before. The flavors will blend in the refrigerator and taste even better when party time comes!
