We've taken bruschetta, the classic Italian antipasto, and made it a meal for two! Ciabatta rolls are brushed with garlic oil, toasted to golden perfection, then topped with a fresh bruschetta mix and creamy bocconcini. We can't forget an extra few minutes in the oven to achieve melted cheese bliss! Finish things off with a final drizzle of balsamic glaze and some roasted wedges on the side and you're all set for date night!
