Puff Pastry Bruschetta
Golden and flaky puff pastry, topped with savory vegetables and parmesan cheese. You need just three ingredients and about 20 minutes for this mouthwatering treat.
This is the ultimate party appetizer! Just grab one sheet of puff pastry, any variety of bruschetta topping, and parmesan cheese! A quick bake in the oven and this puffed-up twist on bruschetta is ready to serve.
Choose any bruschetta topping you want! There are many varieties of bruschetta toppings, from tomato, to roasted red pepper, mushroom, olive, and eggplant. I used Wildfare’s fire-roasted eggplant bruschetta topping which boasts eggplant, tomatoes, garlic, basil, and mint. It’s chunky and aromatic and makes an excellent topping for buttery puff pastry.
This recipe is easy to double and triple! When cut, one sheet of puff pastry makes about 8 to 10 bruschetta squares. If you need more, just add another sheet (or two) of puff pastry!
Make a variety of bruschetta for your next gathering! If you’re serving a crowd, use a different bruschetta topping for each sheet of puff pastry. One could be tomato, one olive, and another mushroom! Have some fun; the possibilities are endless!
I suggest you use freshly grated parmesan. Since this recipe has just 3 ingredients, each one matters. I suggest freshly shredded or grated parmesan cheese for it’s bold, fresh flavor. Try to avoid the shaker-style parmesan cheese for this recipe.
