Bruschetta Pizza

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This recipe is a twist on my favorite fresh bruschetta recipe.  I was visiting my sister in Colorado over the Christmas holidays and we visited a local cheese importer and picked up a variety of delicious cheeses that included some fresh mozzarella and fresh sun dried tomatoes.  With a family to feed, we decided to make some gourmet pizzas so that everyone could enjoy the wonderful cheeses we bought.  One of our fabulous creations was the Pear & Gorgonzola Pizza that I posted back in January!

This Bruschetta Pizza turned out great and was one of my favorites.  You could certainly use the tomato mixture to make standard bruschetta by brushing sliced baguette with a little olive oil and toasting or grilling, then topping with the tomato mixture and placing under the broiler until melty.  Either way you go, this is a delicious recipe for restaurant-style eating at home or entertaining.
