Here are the ingredients for the Butternut and Apple Bruschetta…
- 1 package frozen butternut squash (10 oz.)
- 1 French baguette (I like a smaller baguette to make the bruschetta smaller), cut into 12-16 pieces
- 6 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp all spice
- 1 apple, cut and diced into small pieces
- 3 tbsp of honey
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp cloves
- 2 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp pepper
- 1 cup feta cheese
- 10 sprigs of thyme 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar (I like a Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar)
- 1 tsp nutmeg
Now… it’s time for the Pro Tips for Friendsgiving:
- Use Frozen Butternut Squash – do not try and dice it yourself 🙂
- I love using Vibrante’s Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar – seriously it is the best!! (I’m not getting paid for this!)
- Get a Feta block – do get it already crumbled. It crumbles better then pre-crumbled.
Check out the recipe – it is super easy and will take you no time at all!
