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

MUSHROOM AND OLIVE BRUSCHETTA
I tried this delicious bruschetta toast at a party and knew I had to make it myself. Since I couldn't find the person who brought the dish, I began trying to duplicate it on my own. The original was made on an English muffin, but party rye or baguette slices work as well. -Lynne German, Woodland Hills, California
