Copycat Mellow Mushroom Bruschetta Recipe - Peas and Crayons (1)

I’m fully prepared to accept the worst blogger of the year award.

I promised you this recipe back in 2011.

TWENTY! ELEVEN!

Inconceivable!

I think the general consensus is that I’m pure evil, but I’m actually the victim here… Really!

You see, though I make bruschetta all spring and summer long, I rarely have more than a sketchy, terribly-lit photo to document the occasion. I’m convinced there’s some sort of food blogger curse preventing the sun from shining on the days I decide to make bruschetta.

Being the raging perfectionist that I am, I couldn’t bring myself to pull the trigger and post the recipe without decent photos.

I need help. If any of you are in the psych field and want to rewire my crazy, I’ll gladly pay you in food. In fact, I’ll pay you in bruschetta!

Serving a large crowd? Double or triple this recipe as needed, it’s so easy to make more!

Dare I say better than the original? It’s a zillion times cheaper too! I usually don’t measure when making bruschetta but I’m so glad I did! This way I’ll be able to re-create this particular batch when the craving strikes!

Which it inevitably will.

Probably tomorrow.

And the next day

Forever.

special diets and swaps

Vegan? Simply skip the feta and you’re good to go!

T-Rex friends, I have it on pretty good authority that this bruschetta is amazing poured over chicken.

Need a gluten-free alternative? Stuff the bruschetta topping into cucumber cups or bake it into zucchini cups! It’s also amazing in quinoa and stuffed into sweet potatoes! You can also opt for using your favorite gluten-free toast. The options are endless!
