the best plan for this is to make the toasts and the bruschetta ahead, and serve the bruschetta in bowls, allowing people to serve themselves. This keeps the bread from getting soggy.
For 100 people, if there are other appetizers also, plan on at least 12 pounds of freshly made toasts. You want 2 slices per person. French bread baguette, cut into 1/2 inch diagonal. You could do two or 3 flavors-
Fruity bruschetta
1 ½ cups sliced fresh strawberries
French or Italian bread baguette, cut into 1/2 inch slices diagonally.
Heirloom tomato bruschetta
* 2 cups Heirloom tomatoes, seeded and diced (1/2” pieces)(can use Roma) Tastier if you marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes or overnight.
Olive bruschetta
Pitted black olives 2 lb. (2 qt.) Marinate in refrigerator for 15-20 minutes or overnight. Very nice to put out some creamy goat cheese, 1 ounce per person, with this, budget permitting. |
