Whole wheat bruschetta with tomato and fresh mozzarella
Whole wheat bruschetta with tomato and fresh mozzarella: Now I really do love to cook and always appreciate an interesting recipe.
However, sometimes there isn’t time for anything elaborate, especially when you have a table full of gesticulating Italians to feed. Pulling something out of the ‘kitchen hat’ with a triumphant ‘TUH DUH!!’ can be quite the challenge. And so it came to pass that I invented the Tomato and Mozzarella Croissant and the whole wheat tomato and mozzarella bruschetta.
I was so pleased with myself that as the table full of Italians amused themselves with conversation, I quietly beavered away in the kitchen and documented my efforts with a series of photographs …. just for you.
