Its New Years eve tomorrow! I love hosting the party at home and bringing in the new year with my close friends and family members.
Bruschetta bar is my go to appetiser cum dinner whenever I am having people over. It satisfies both sweet and savoury taste buds. Its easy, quick to build up and hardly needs any effort. It is sure to impress your guests. Everyone will love it!
Combinations are endless. Toasted slices of bread are served on a board with various dips,spreads,cheese,fruits and veggies of your choice. Its winter season right now so fruits like strawberries, oranges, grapes,guava,figs can be used. During summer I'd use peaches, cherries, melon and mangoes.
Here's some of my favourite bruschetta combos which I have shared in this post

I also like adding hummus, green goodness coriander hummus, muhammara, cream cheese, guacamole, sour cream, marinara sauce in my bruschetta bar along with other toppings like sauteed mushrooms, bell peppers, figs, pomegranate.
Some points to remember
Ensure that you toast your bread crisp. Its best to toast bread on a hot griddle without using any oil or butter.
Fruits and cheese go really well together. For instance, feta cheese goes well with fruits like guava,strawberry,figs and grapes.
