Mushroom Olive Bruschetta image

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

1 lime, zested and juiced
1/4 cup olive oil
1 pint heirloom cherry tomatoes, halved
1 fresh sweet white corn on cob, kernels removed and reserved

1/2 cup manzanella olives
2 tablespoons capers
1 shallot, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • For the bacon:
