Bruschetta Ingredients

Method

Bruschetta Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Baguette

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the sliced baguette on a baking sheet, and brush each slice lightly with olive oil.

  2. 2

    Toast the Bread

    Bake the baguette slices in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Topping

    In a mixing bowl, combine the diced cherry tomatoes, roasted piquillo peppers, and fresh arugula. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Bruschetta

    Spread a layer of romesco sauce on each toasted baguette slice. Then, top with the tomato and piquillo pepper mixture. Finally, add shaved Parmesan cheese on top.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and serve immediately as an appetizer or snack.
