Bruschetta is one of my all-time favorite appetizers!

There's something about the simplicity of grilled bread topped with fresh ingredients. It really hits the nail on the head.

And it's perfect for summer entertaining. It's easy to make, and everyone always loves it.

This version uses juicy summer tomatoes. Plus, you'll accent it with garlic and basil for a delicious flavor profile.

Do you love Mediterranean flavors? If so, you'll love this Baked Feta and Tomato Cheese Dish! It's simple to make but tastes delicious.

Feta cheese is a perfect, spicy addition to any meal. When combined with juicy tomatoes, it is incredibly delicious.

This dish is the juiciest and spiciest version of baked brie. It has an amazing texture, looks awesome and tastes even better.

Plus, it uses only eight ingredients and takes just 30 minutes to make.

So if you want to make it just for yourself, go ahead. You won't get any judgment from me!

Here's another fun (and simple!) Mediterranean dish. Combine cherry tomatoes, basil leaves and mini mozzarella balls.

Add a little salt and pepper and drizzle in a mixture of balsamic and olive oil for more flavor.

The result is a tasty and colorful snack that is convenient to prepare and eat.

You can have them ready in just 15 minutes, and there's no need to cook them.

Let's take a little detour here for a second.

Do you know the difference between bruschetta and crostini?

I only ask because I didn't know until very recently. As a hardcore and dedicated enthusiast, I'm almost ashamed to admit it.

However, it is true. I used the terms interchangeably for quite some time.

So, I finally decided to do some googling. Turns out the difference is the bread.

Crostini typically uses baguettes; Bruschetta uses thicker, larger slices of bread. The more you know, right?

Fortunately, you don't need to know the difference between them to appreciate both.

This sun-dried tomato ricotta crostini is the best. It is juicy and full of herb and tomato flavors.

Add creamy ricotta for an extra kick and you have yourself a top-notch appetizer.

There is no shade for stuffed peppers, but stuffed tomatoes are phenomenal. Each one is a bite-sized bite of ambrosia.

Juicy cherry tomatoes are filled with garlic and dill infused cream cheese. There's just nothing wrong there.

This dense, thick dip is bright, flavorful, and out of this world.

It is cool and refreshing and ideal for summer parties. In addition, it is very versatile.

You can use it as a salad or dip. You can even top other dishes with it, like eggs or omelettes.

It can add a vibrant burst of color and rich flavor to virtually anything.

Popped tomato paste is like hot bruschetta, and I'm here for it. Features tons of bold tomato flavor with just a hint of garlic.

You'll also add red pepper flakes for a little bite. It takes minimal effort and about 20 minutes to make.

Serve with garlic bread, toasted baguettes or pita bread.

It certainly won't disappoint in any way.

Sun Dried Tomato Sauce is thick, creamy and low carb and keto friendly. Each serving has only two net carbs.

And the amount of flavor in each bite is almost unbelievable.

It has such a bright, summery flavor that goes well with anything.

If you want to keep it keto, serve it with fresh vegetables from the garden instead of bread.

However, crackers, potato chips, and garlic toast also taste amazing.

BLTs are delicious, but they don't make good appetizers. BLT bites, on the other hand, are delicious appetizers.

They are also a type of stuffed cherry tomato, but you won't use cream cheese. Instead, you fill them with mayonnaise, bacon, lettuce, and green onions.

And yes, every bite is a treasure. These little things are so addictive. I guarantee you will love them.

Don't you just love the flaky deliciousness of puff pastry?

Now, imagine that topped with Gruyere cheese, Parmesan, and juicy tomatoes.

How about adding a little Dijon mustard for a little something special? And an herb vinaigrette dressing?

Are you drooling already? You should be. This tomato tart is tempting. In fact, they taste so good that you don't even need fresh tomatoes.

Everything else complements them wonderfully, even if they are store bought. That means you can make these a year-round treat.

Don't be fooled by what you are seeing. That is not, in fact, a pizza on your screen. However, this gooey, gooey, cheesy sauce is very pizza-like.

It's herbal flavored and packed with cheese and tomato goodness.

Top it with chips, crackers, or even garlic bread. I'm sure everyone around the table will love it.

I'm not a snob. I enjoy a good plate of air fried Totino's pizza rolls as much as the next person.

Unfortunately, they simply can't compare to the pizza rolls in this recipe.

There is nothing frozen or processed about these. Just look at them. Aren't they beautiful?

They look like something you would have in a five star restaurant!

You will go crazy for the hot dough and juicy garlic tomatoes. The parmesan, basil, and prosciutto don't hurt either.

These are true delicacies, and you will savor every bite.

You'll still be able to enjoy a quickly bombed Totino roll from time to time. Just don't expect them to compare to these.

These stunning mini-quiches are perfect for any occasion. That includes events when you need something stylish.

And as long as you have a muffin tin, they are super easy to make.

They are robust, flavorful, and full of fresh, savory flavors. The different cheeses and puff pastries are pure decadence.

Fortunately, vegetables help tone that down a bit.

For being so small, these are ridiculously filling. They're also amazing, so be careful not to overdo it if you eat them before a big meal.
