Baguette: I love using French-style bread for this recipe. It tastes the best.

What To Serve With Bruschetta?

Bruschetta is absolutely amazing by itself but tastes great with almost any recipe. Have it along with chicken, steak, soup, etc. This is a recipe that will balance out hot food and taste just as good, along with other dishes.

Bruschetta tastes best when eaten right away. But, when stored in an airtight container and placed in the fridge. It can last up to 2-3 days in the fridge.
