Bruschetta pronounced as bru-sket-ta is an Italian dish made with crusted Italian bread and toppings. Before two weeks I made the French Baguette following the Bread Baker's Apprentice. I ended up with three cute baguettes but had no idea how to use them in various recipes. I googled for recipes. And one recipe was for bruschetta. I had a cup of paneer in the fridge, so I incorporated it in the bruschetta recipe and made an Indianized version. It came out absolutely delicious. And fortunately we had two of our friends at home during evening. So I was so happy to serve them this bruschetta for the evening snacks along with a cup of coffee. Nowadays I am serving a lot of cucumber and onions along with the snacks and hubby is very happy about it. Today is the. Final week of Blogging Marathon #30 and I am posting under savoury bakes. Whenever I use my oven it would be for a cake or cookie. So when I saw this theme I thought that a slight variation from routine would be nice. At once I opted for this challenge and am happy to have selected it. For the three days I will be posting three savoury dishes made out of the three baguettes. Hope you enjoy this virtual treat..
