OLIVE BRUSCHETTA
This convenient and colorful party classic from Linda Austin in Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey, can be made several days in advance. In fact, it actually tastes better if prepared ahead so all the fresh flavors can blend together. Best served at room temperature with a crusty loaf of toasted French bread or your favorite crackers.

AWESOME OLIVE BRUSCHETTA
I got this recipe from a friend who was a caterer. It was her most requested dish. It is so delicious and wins raves everytime I serve it. One thing, this is much better if made the night before so the flavors really have time to marry.

CHEESE & OLIVE BRUSCHETTA
I've never had anyone turn these down. They are so easy to make and the results are always good. Try these after the game or after a winter outdoors event. I have been told that the recipe was originally from a Company's Coming cook book- I am not sure where I found it. I love Company's Coming cookbooks so that is likely where I saw it.

MUSHROOM OLIVE BRUSCHETTA
After experimenting with different ingredients and flavor combinations, I came up with this variation on traditional tomato-based bruschetta. I've also used this recipe as a stuffing for chicken breast, and sometimes will add a little feta cheese. You can make it ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator, but be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving-that's how it tastes best! -Colleen Blasetti, Palm Coast, Florida

Tips:
- Use the freshest ingredients possible, especially the tomatoes. Ripe, juicy tomatoes will give your bruschetta the best flavor.
- If you don't have time to make your own bread, use a good quality store-bought baguette.

- Serve the bruschetta immediately after it's made. This will prevent the bread from getting soggy.
