    Ahhh, the Mediterranean.

    Blue skies as far as you can see, crystal sparkling water everywhere you look,  shores meandering in and out of coves and vegetables that come from this perfect environment.

    I'm sure all of you know what I mean and the vegetables such as olives, bell peppers, onions and spices like oregano and chives come to mind. Very quickly.

    Well, this recipe takes advantage of all those lovely ingredients and more.

    Artichokes and capers are also native to the land.  Moderate weather and rocky slopes, respectively, ensure perfect vegetables and flower buds.

    So many vegetables grow really well on gently sloping ground. It just drains well. If you've ever been to the coast of ay country on the Mediterranean than you know that nothing is flat.

    Not crazy wild but rolling ground. Well, let me back up. The Amalfi coast is insanely steep but we're not talking grapes at the moment :). So let's get this straight. Some of Italy is not rolling.

    But ... everything grows beautifully. I took advantage of many of these ingredients to turn out a bruschetta that is chopped small and easy to spoon out onto toasts and even use as a dip.

    Bruschetta is one of my downfalls. There is always the classic and spectacular Homemade Tomato Bruschetta but have you tried Bell Pepper Bruschetta?

    You really really need to. It's amazing and here's a pic!

    Bell Pepper Bruschetta Crostini is crowd pleasing appetizer that works for any occasion.

    The reason I have so many of these little toasts and toppings on the blog is everybody seems to love them. No matter what!

    Balsamic Caramelized Onion Crostini will knock your socks off with over-the-top flavor.

    Mushroom Bruschetta Crostinis are clean and fresh and also very Mediterranean in its ingredients.

    Last but absolutely not least is Mixed Olive Tapenade Crostini. Need I say more.

    So now there is this Mediterranean Bruschetta recipe on the blog and I couldn't be happier. Try it out!

      Bruschetta is one of my downfalls too! I could eat massive amounts of it! Your Mediterranean version looks incredibly delicious and super easy! I can't wait to try it. I'll have to make it for a party though since I do not want to eat it all myself!

      What a great idea for an appetizer this holiday season. We have a few vegans coming to our party this year so this crostini is a great recipe for me to make them.
