    Creamy BLT Bruschetta is full of fresh tomatoes, basil, and best of all BACON! This twist on a classic appetizer will be a welcomed change!

    BLT Bruschetta up close on bread

    The classic bruschetta appetizer is definitely a favorite for many people, but this twist on the classic recipe is going to have you making it this way from now on! Fresh tomatoes, basil, lettuce, and bacon all tied together with a delicious tangy creamy sauce! With only a handful of ingredients in BLT Bruschetta, this will be a summer staple! Make this along with my BLT Pasta Salad and your summer BBQ will be off to a great start!

    Making this easy appetizer takes hardly any time at all.

    How to make BLT Bruschetta:

    **scroll down for full ingredient list and printable directions**

    • Start by prepping the baguette slices. Slice the bread thinly into slices, then brush the top of the bread lightly with olive oil. Place the baguette slices in a single layer and bake at 350 degrees for about 5-7 minutes or until lightly toasted.
    • While that is cooking, add mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, pepper, and salt to a large bowl and whisk well to combine.
    • Carefully fold in the chopped tomatoes, lettuce, green onions, and bacon, taking care not to mash the ingredients.
    • Once everything is coated evenly, serve in a serving dish or bowl alongside the toasted baguette. 

    When is the best time to make Creamy BLT Bruschetta?

    • Once mid summer hits, it seems like my tomato plants go insane and I have such an overload of tomatoes. With this recipe, you can use as many or as little as tomatoes as desired. If cooking for a big crowd, the more tomatoes, the better!
    • All in all, this BLT Bruschetta recipe is great for summer BBQ’s, potlucks, parties, Bunco…you name it, people are going to love it!
    • BLT Bruschetta is quick to throw together, uses fresh ingredients, and is pretty cheap as well.
    • In case you are interested in the delicious Creamy BLT Pasta Salad I mentioned above, here is the recipe. All the ingredients are basically the same, except there is pasta as well!

    Cooking Tips:

    • Buy a baguette and slice it up, or get pre-sliced crostini’s – personally, I like to get the fresh baguette and go from there because I just love fresh bread. 
    • Buy pre-cooked bacon and just heat and chop, makes it very simple. Alternatively, use and Air Fryer to make quick and less greasy bacon then chop it up!
    • Make the day before, but keep the dressing separate from the fresh ingredients. About an hour before serving, toss everything together and let meld in the fridge for an hour before serving. 
    • Cutting Carbs? Serve with lettuce wraps or cheese crips!
