Nutella Bruschetta

A fruity sweet, bruschetta with Nutella and fresh and canned fruits. Comes together super quick and can be a quick snack or a party dessert.

It is pretty, colorful, and vibrant. It is sweet, refreshing, and delicious! Definitely a crowd-pleaser.

So if you are wondering what to do with the jar of Nutella (other than eating it with a spoon, of course), try this Nutella berry Bruschetta.

A Note On Baguette

I buy the "bake-at-home" multigrain baguette from King Soopers. I bake the baguette early enough so that it has sufficient time to cool down before I start assembling the Nutella Bruschetta. The beauty of this dish is that it is so light that you can serve it as an appetizer, a dessert or even as an after-school snack. Feel free to substitute with slices of your favorite fruit and experiment with garnishes.

Notes

1. I cannot stress the importance of keeping a watch on the baguette slices if you are using the oven to broil them.

2. The measurements in the recipe are kind of an estimate. You can always do more (or less).

3. Though I have mentioned ½ cup of Nutella, I do not transfer the Nutella to another cup or container. I just scoop out directly from the jar.
