Expert Tips

Mozzarella is a good substitute for the mild, nutty-flavored Fontina cheese.

You can prepare and top the bread slices as directed up to 1 hour in advance. Pop in the oven to melt the cheese just before serving.

Bruschetta refers to toasted garlic bread that is topped with olive oil, salt and pepper. In this recipe, we have taken the flavors a step further by adding tomatoes and cheese.
