Joel’s Best Bruschetta!

Who doesn't love bruschetta? It's the ultimate summer party appetizer and a great way to use up the tomatoes from your garden! It's also extra tasty and simple to make when you grill it on a Memphis! A big thank you to Joel, who sent us this recipe, which he prepares on his Memphis as an appetizer, side dish and even as a main course! Enjoy!
