TEa Cups & Bruschetta..........

Welcome to my porch at 71 Sunflower Lane.

I've been sharing my thoughts on INspiring Canadian Women but like life, I believe we need a change.  On the weekend, I served lunch to four wonderful women. 

I want to share how I presented the appetizer ...which was Bruschetta.

Instead of serving the Bruschetta on baguette I used a china Cup & Saucer.

The Bruschetta mixture was heated, spooned into the cup and served with toasted baguette that had been topped with cheese.  The women spooned the Brushcetta mixture onto toasted baguette and Enjoyed!

Presentation is everything.

Bruschetta Recipe

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

2 medium tomatoes, halved, seeded and finely diced

1/4 chopped olives

1/4 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese

 1 tsp. oregano

1/2 tsp. pepper

1/4 tsp. basil

Combine all ingredients and heat in a saucepan on the stove.

When heated through, spoon into cup.

Baguette.......Slice diagonally, butter, top with grated mozzarella cheese.

Toast until cheese is melted and edges start to brown.

Place on the plate.

Serve immediately.

My years of catering have taught me to look around my home for different ideas to serve food in.

Enjoy the Bruschetta!  Hope you make a batch to serve to those women who INspire you........mother, daughter, friends or community leaders and the list continues................

Come again.........bring your cup & saucer or coffee mug.........sit on the swing and tomorrow I'll share the Canadian Women who I'm INspired by.    Mar
