Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Instead of letting guests assemble the bruschetta, you can spoon the seafood mixture onto the toasts and garnish each with a sprig of fresh mint.
  • tip 2
    Toast slices for bruschetta up to 1 day ahead. Cool and store in airtight container at room temperature.
  • tip 3
    You can substitute 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or basil rather than using 1 tablespoon each of chives, basil and mint.
