Enough for about 30 pieces of bruschetta
This spread while readily available in the super market tastes so much better when made at home. It is fast, easy, so very tasty, and always a hit with young and old. Top each finished slice with a caper or half of a cherry tomato, to make a bite that appeals to the eye as well. Kathrin often serves these, alternating with her Gorgonzola spread.
