• If you prefer a spicier bruschetta, you can add some crushed red pepper flakes to the topping mixture.

Storage and Serving

• Italian Sub Bruschetta is best served immediately after assembling to maintain the crispness of the bread.
• If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the bruschetta in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes until warmed through.
• Serve as an appetizer at parties, potlucks, or as a tasty snack.
