Grain-Free Greek Bruschetta

What’s not to love about bruschetta? Bread + fresh ingredients? Sign me up. There’s something that I’ve always loved about a crispy, rustic piece of bread loaded up with tomatoes, garlic and basil. I’m clearly stating the obvious here, I’m pretty sure it’s one of those appetizers that everybody loves.

In any case, things like bruschetta haven’t been around our house all that much the last few years. Since I’ve had to cut all gluten out of my diet, a clean bread that’s easy to make has been hard to come by. I know there’s a lot of recipes out there but they all seem to take forever and are overly complicated for day to day basis. I have to say, I gave up on making my own and in turn things like bruschetta don’t show up all that often.

Until they do.

As you may know, I’ve recently started working with Simple Mills and lucky for us, they make the most amazing grain-free baking mixes I’ve ever had. In fact, their mixes rival any recipe that you’ll find online. Not only are their mixes delicious but amazingly easy and versatile. Case in point, my husband and kids used this same Artisan Bread Mix to make me french toast this year for Mother’s Day breakfast! And it was amazing. So when I had the chance to create a bruschetta using their Artisan Bread Mix, you can understand my excitement.

I wanted to take those same fresh bruschetta flavors that we’ve come to know and love but add a twist. We all know a traditional bruschetta is Italian in origin so why don’t we just mix things up just a tad and create a Greek inspired variety instead? By tweaking just a few ingredients this bruschetta has a new flavor profile.

Out with the basil, in with the dill. Out with the garlic, in with the red onion. You get it. 😉 I also added a bit of cucumber to freshen it up even more. Just make sure that you chop the cucumber up small enough as not to overwhelm the bites. I also like deseeding the cucumber prior, simply slice the cucumber lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out / scrape the seeds. From there, I slice it lengthwise a few more times and then chop. That method ensures a small enough chop so you’re still tasting mostly tomato.

To make the bread into a crostini I simply used a loaf pan to bake the bread and let it cool. Once cooled, I sliced the loaf up and placed the slices onto a baking sheet and broiled the slices for a couple of minutes. Make sure to watch those crostinis like a hawk though because they can burn quickly if left unsupervised!

Finally, you also have the option for organic cheese or no cheese. I love a little dusting of salty, briny feta on top but it’s by no means a necessary component of this recipe.

I hope you love this recipe as much as I do and make sure to check out Simple Mills, I cannot sing their praises enough!

Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱 In early 2020 I Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱In early 2020 I polled my audience because we were on the hunt for a new mattress. You overwhelmingly recommended @avocadogreenbrands. And then we all got locked down and I put our mattress hunt on hold. I bought a cheapie mattress online instead since we couldn’t try things out and none of us had any clue what was happening. Big mistake. HUGE. It was the worst mattress ever. So earlier this year we decided it was time to get a PROPER GROWN UP MATTRESS and went with @avocadogreenbrands.I’m not going to lie, I was a little nervous about ordering online and not being able to “test” it in person. I’m here to tell you it’s one of the best things in my life. It is THE MOST comfortable mattress I have ever laid my pretty little face on. And Brad agrees.Not to mention is green and environmentally friendly.Legit, slipping into bed at night feels like a hug from heaven and I can’t even handle it. I told Brad that, God forbid, we ever divorce I’m taking the mattress with me. So, if you are on the hunt go with @avocadogreenbrands. We went with the Avocado Green mattress with pillow top. And I just looked and they’re having an early cyber/Black Friday Sale. Anyways. Obsessed and eagerly awaiting my next nap. ✌🏼
Gluten-Free Cranberry Bars Personally, one of my Gluten-Free Cranberry BarsPersonally, one of my fave desserts ever is pumpkin pie. I wish it was a year ‘round thing. BUT! If you aren’t pumpkin crazy, not into pies and need something DIFFERENT to bring to Thanksgiving this year, let it be this. Think a lemon bars more festive friend. In fact, it’s great for a Christmas too. It’s available now to my community a the link in my bio. ❤️
