Notes
Berry & Ricotta Bruschetta Q&A
How do you keep bruschetta from getting soggy? Toasting your bread first helps prevent a soggy appetizer. I like broiling, but you can also grill the baguette slices. What does bruschetta mean? Bruschetta means bread with topping, so it can be a variety of toasted bread with toppings. Can I make this ahead? You can toast the bread about 30 minutes ahead, but I do not recommend assembling them until right before serving.Nutrition
