Crispy Cheesy Bruschetta Bites

Bruschetta with Cheese

Years ago I was introduced to these mini bruschetta bites and I have been making it ever since.    I have made these Crispy Cheesy Bruschetta Bites as a small meal while watching a sporting event and as a start to a wonderful, food filled evening!

I hate it when you have company over and you spend all of your time in the kitchen.  This cocktail party bread appetizer solves this problem! 

If you take a moment to get the bruschetta mixture ready beforehand, basically all you have to do is slice your baguette, add the bruschetta mixture, some cheese and bake!   More time to enjoy company and eat!

Our Easy Tomato Bruschetta is perfect to use instead of store bought.  I urge you to try making bruschetta yourself at least once as the difference is incredible. 

The only thing that takes time to do is chop the tomatoes you are using. Then you add a few ingredients, stir until blended, place on your baguette slices and bake.

This recipe is so super simple and if you are a tomato fan this recipe MUST be on your bucket list. I’m not even kidding. 

That being said, if you need to, buy some, this recipe will still turn out great!

Mini Bruschetta Bites

This Italian bruschetta recipe with cheese is definitely droolworthy. Just the way everything blends together. These mini bruschetta bites are super addictive too. So difficult to stop at one, or two.

Store bought bruschetta or homemade will work with this super easy recipe. If you are like me and have lots of tomatoes to use up in the summer, I hope you will try making your own bruschetta.

The only step that takes time is preparing and chopping the tomatoes. Otherwise it tastes so much better than store bought and should be tried at least once.

Otherwise there are some terrific brands of bruschetta out there that only require you to open the lid! No chopping at all! Sometimes that is definitely the best route to go.

Bruschetta with Mozzarella

These Crispy Cheesy Bruschetta Bites are perfect!  Put on as much or as little cheese on top as you desire.  For me I always figure the more cheese the better! 

I love cheesy appetizers like this.  My only complaint is that I can’t stop at only one as they are so addictive!

Frequently, I use mozzarella and parmesan cheeses to make this wonderful snack or appetizer but most cheeses will work and work well.

Swap in a Monterey Jack or Colby Jack, cheddar, or an Italian or Mexican blend of cheese. I could go on and on.

If you want to try and experiment with different cheeses, besides or in combination with mozzarella, I urge you to try it. I have added little ends of different cheeses and have been pleasantly surprised at the results.

Maybe that will happen to you too.

Cocktail Party Bread Appetizers

These Crispy Parmesan Bacon Bites and Crispy Cheesy Mushroom Bites are also worth a look!  Similar process to these mini bruschetta bites but with different, just as addictive, flavors!  I highly recommend you having a look!

This recipe, and the two above, are our favorite cocktail party bread appetizers hands down. I can never make enough of any of them and I urge you to check them out.

These three recipes are not only ideal for parties they are perfect for movie night too. I will just grab a crusty baguette and make whichever one I feel like.

This way dinner is served and we get to sit and binge watch a television show. A totally relaxing evening.

      The mayo actually holds the cheeses and tomatoes together beautifully in the heat. Taste and texture is perfect. I hope you try it as we think this appetizer is delicious and I am curious to hear what you think of it! I hope I have answered your question. All the best. Karin

    These would work great using jarred salsa, too. Crispy Cheesy Salsa Bites!

      Sorry for the delay in responding to you. We have tried the recipe a couple more times and simply seeded and diced 2 medium sized tomatoes. We added 1/2 teaspoon of basil and 1 teaspoon of oregano to the tomato mixture. If you are unable to find a small container of bruschetta at your local grocery store this tastes delicious also! Hope this helps! All the best. Karin
