Bruschetta is much more than bread with tomatoes. Following our pumpkin variant, we now have the spring version with asparagus and wild garlic.
Green asparagus is cooked until just tender and mixed with wild garlic, onion and garlic. The bread gets a wild garlic butter and is baked until crisp.
Whether as a starter, an aperitif or a snack: with fresh ingredients, it is a true delight.

To make sure it succeeds every time
Al dente
The asparagus should be tender but still crisp. Better to cook it one minute less.
Be careful when foraging
Lily of the valley and autumn crocus look similar to wild garlic and are poisonous. Only wild garlic smells of garlic.
Dried wild garlic
Outside the season, dried wild garlic also works well.
