FAQ (Questions and Answers) ZUCCHINI and Bacon BRUSCHETTAS
Can I prepare the zucchini and bacon bruschettas in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the ingredients in advance, but it’s best to assemble and grill the bruschettas just before serving to keep the bacon crispy and the zucchini fresh.
Can I use an alternative to bacon?
Absolutely! You can substitute bacon with prosciutto, speck, or for a vegetarian version, with smoked tofu or sautéed mushrooms to achieve a crispy and flavorful texture.

Rustic bread or ciabatta are excellent choices because they have a crunchy crust and a dense crumb, perfect for supporting toppings without becoming too soggy.
