Bruschetta with Tomatoes and Mussels
Appetizers • European
Description
Olive oil is added at your discretion because if you fry the bread in it, it will no longer be bruschetta but crostini. Bruschetta is toasted in a dry skillet to achieve a crispy exterior and a soft interior. There are other differences, but this is the main one. And, of course, if you can't find ciabatta, as I couldn't this time, use a regular unsweetened white loaf instead, and substitute feta cheese for ricotta. To prevent the ciabatta slices from becoming soggy, add the topping just before serving. Don’t like mussels? Skip them!

- Canned Truffles 2 cans
