It became such a well-known dish because it was a great way to salvage bread that was going stale. Now, toppings for bruschetta range from garden fresh tomatoes to cured meats to avocado. You might even go as far as making a fruit bruschetta with strawberries or apples. What do you think? You ready to make this tomato & feta bruschetta a staple in your own kitchen?
