I can't think of a more summery appetizer than bruschetta. Crispy, toasty bread topped with fresh ingredients, it's the perfect snack when the temperature starts to climb because there's very little cooking involved.

This version I whipped up features a fresh Greek style salad that includes all the fresh favourites. Cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, onions, and tangy feta cheese come together a top a grilled piece of french baguette for a snack you won't be able to resist.

Caprese Stuffed Portobellos

6/15/2020

I have to give my sister the credit for coming up with this recipe after she shared a very similar idea with me recently. Not being the biggest fan of mushrooms, I committed to writing and testing this recipe with her in mind but I ended up absolutely loving these!

Hollowed out portobello mushrooms caps stuffed with fresh medley tomatoes & bocconcini cheese, broiled until melty and delicious, and finished with fresh basil and parsley and a drizzle of balsamic reduction. Absolutely delicious and ready in a flash.
