Mushroom Bruschetta

The famous bruschetta from Italy. Hence also the most loved appetizer there is. It's the perfect balance of flavour and portion. 'Bruschetta' is derived from the word bruscare, meaning to roast over coal. Bruschetta is an integral part of an Italian BBq and can be served with various vegetables and meats. The olive oil-drenched sourdough served with earthy mushrooms makes the best bruschetta for me!
