Philly Cheesesteak Bruschetta

Comfort food comes in all shape, sizes and are from different cultures, regions, countries and states…so what do you eat when you are in Philadelphia?  A cheesesteak of course…and you can have this famous sandwich that has been a Pennsylvania favorite since the 1930’s as a small bite with my new recipe for Philly Cheesesteak Bruschetta. This crunchy bruschetta with juicy chopped steak with sautéed onions, peppers & melted cheese will have you bringing back memories of eating this classic hoagie sandwich over a paper lined basket with a beer. My small bite sized bruschetta version is just as good and is perfect for your cocktail party…even the sophisticated high heeled ladies will be able to enjoy this classic treat since it’s not so huge or messy.
