Super Bowl with Super Special Snack - Bruschetta!

Bruschetta is a fresh, simple and delicious Italian appetizer that can be prepared in minutes and enjoyed any time as an appetizer. We had friends over today for the Superbowl and this is what I decided to make as an appetizer! Everyone enjoyed them and so did I. It's light and delicious!



It was a fun and exciting game. New Orleans SAINTS won the game fair and square to be crowned as champions for the first time in the history! And I won the appreciation on the Bruschetta :)

Here is the simple Bruschetta recipe with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil. (Printable View of Recipe)
