My review
Bruschetta II
Maryanne
"This Italian appetizer made of bread, fresh spinach, and some other goodies is great for serving at parties. A French baguette is a long, narrow loaf of French bread. I like to garnish the bruschetta with more basil."

Tastes Great and a hit at the last party I went to, but the spread was messy to make (especially without a food processor).

Wonderful recipe. I made mine in the blender this time but I believe it will be easier in the food processor (a little "gummy" to begin in the blender). Definitely will make again!!!
