I discovered “Bruschetta Con Funghi” as a great starter in Pizza Express. This is my favourite starter every time I enter an Italian restaurant. Sharing my recipe for the same, which you will find to be super easy and super duper quick as well.

Key Notes:

1. Don’t overcook onions. We just want them to be little soft only.
2. You can make your own béchamel sauce at home. For that take 1 tablespoon of butter and melt it on medium flame . Once melted, add one tablespoon of all purpose flour to it and roast just for 1 minute. Now add half cup of milk and stir it till u get desired consistency. Remember to add milk little by little to avoid formation of lumps.
3. You can use any bread instead of bruschetta bread like Pitta bread or ciabatta bread. Don’t heat the bread in the oven too much, we just want it to be soft not crunchy.
