Got stale bread? Make Bruschetta (broo-sket-ta).
Bruschetta is crusty, grilled bread that’s been brushed with olive oil and garlic. This recipe is a delicious way to reduce your food waste:
- It’s a great way to use stale bread, but you can certainly use fresh.
- This topping makes use of ripe tomatoes that you might have left on the counter.
- It’s a very adaptable recipe that allows you can make a small or large batch, depending on what you have on hand.
Fresh garlic and a salt-free herb blend can add more flavor to this DASH friendly recipe. If you don’t use this topping for bread, you can top chicken with it. Simply top 4 boneless, split chicken breasts with the mixture, cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
