  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. For best results, keep the toppings separate from the baguette to maintain crispness.
  • Freezing: It’s best to consume Caprese Bruschetta fresh. Freezing is not recommended due to the texture of the ingredients.

  • Seasonal Variations: Experiment with seasonal ingredients to keep the dish exciting and fresh.
  • Presentation: Arrange the bruschetta on a colorful platter for an appealing display at your gatherings.
