"Bruschetta is a universal favorite of most cooks for an appy or as a starter course, primarily for its flavor varieties & its easy fast-fix. That's exactly was realsimpledotcom does. It opens your eyes to all things easy & fast-fix. I decided to enter 2 of their bruschetta recipes as a combo because they were my 2 faves from a RS article touting new recipes for bruschetta. NOTES FROM ME: 1 of the recipes was amended by me to suit our preferences & the serving suggestions were entirely my own. Times shown were 5 min prep for each recipe, so I entered the total of 10 min for the combo. Each recipe also showed as 4-6 servings, so I will leave it to you to reduce or expand the recipes as desired. You may also find that you strongly prefer 1 recipe over the other. In that case, feel free to make it & then do what I always tell you to do ... ENJOY!"
