Wonderful! Easy to put together, fast and simple yet sophisticated in flavour. I used gluten free rice crisps instead of baguette. The thyme and balsamic vinegar are great together. Thank you Saveur for this great recipe! Read More

Five stars for easy plus fantastic taste. I used bruschetta toast which I will not do again. Will use the toasts recommended in the recipe, I just didn't have any on hand. The bruschetta toast makes a mess. Read More
