To finish bruschetta, spread the top of each bread round with 1 Tbsp. of hummus, or to taste. Set a small spoon of the olive mixture in the centre of each bruschetta and enjoy. Note: The baguette or ciabattini used for the bruschetta should be about 3-inches (7.5 cm) wide. Thrifty Kitchens Hummus is available in our deli department.
