Here’s a delightful snack from the Mediterranean, with a spicy but subtle twist. Chipotle and sundried tomato bruschetta packs a bunch of flavor, with a little heat and a touch of smokiness.
This recipe will work well with whatever bread you like best but our favorites are sourdough or rye. They both have a good chewy texture which carries the juices from the tomatoes very well.
Feel free to adjust the amount of chipotle powder in the recipe. A half a teaspoon provides a mild to low-medium heat for most, but you could increase (or decrease) the amount to your liking and heat tolerance. Know, if you’re removing chipotle pepper, you’re taking away some of that subtle smokiness that works so well with the sundried tomato bruschetta. Feel free to also experiment with a little less or more garlic and onion powder to balance out the tastes to your liking.
To avoid soggy toast, you must consume the sundried tomato bruschettas straight away, so don’t hang around or make them too early. Plan ahead for your party and make these one of the last items you make prior to the start.
