Toasting bruschetta rolls
Place the mini bruschetta rolls on a baking sheet and toast them in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 5-7 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. If you prefer to use a grill pan, heat it on medium heat and place the rolls on it without oil. Cook them on each side for about 2-3 minutes until they have a nice grill mark and are crispy.
Example: Place the mini bruschetta rolls on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven as described above. Check regularly to prevent them from burning. For an extra flavorful touch, you can sprinkle the rolls with a little olive oil and garlic powder before toasting. Enjoy these crispy and flavorful mini bruschetta rolls as a delicious side dish or as a snack!
Covering with tomato mixture
Spread the tomato mixture generously over the toasted bruschetta rolls. Make sure to cover each roll evenly so that every bite is packed with delicious flavors. Start with a light layer and add more as needed, depending on how full you want your rolls. You can use a spoon to spread the mixture evenly over the rolls, making sure to coat every piece of bruschetta. Feel free to add extras, such as chopped basil leaves, crumbled feta, or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, to make your bruschetta even more flavorful.
