Bruschetta With Gorgonzola And Fresh Figs
This is one of the easiest antipasti recipes possible and yet is both delicious and attractive as well. I chose to keep my bruschetta simple, but you could also add some fresh wild arugula on top of the cheese and under the figs, or drizzle the top of the prepared bruschetta with a little aged balsamic vinegar. Aged balsamic is quite thick, and has a unique and complex sweetness that would compliment this bruschetta nicely. I used a crusty multigrain baguette, but any crusty, thin Italian bread would work fine.
Buon Appetito!
