Bruschetta with tomato and white beer caramelized fennel
- Preparation 45 min
- Cooking 20 min
- Servings 40 croutons
- Freezing I do not suggest
Cooking with luxury equipment, it does not make the difference for the final product but it helps to make everything more enjoyable! This is the case here of the 3-Cup Food Chopper and their Canadian Professional Copper Clad Cookware Set. The preparation is ultra-fast with the food chopper and nothing stick in the copper pans. My jaw is dropping! Here I present a different version of the classic bruschetta by adding white beer caramelized fennel in addition to the tomatoes. It’s fresh, easy to prepare and above all extremely delicious! #paderno #itsacookingthing #ad
