Italian bruschetta are lightly toasted slices of bread that can be topped with a range of ingredients. Chickpeas, red onion, and a hit of fresh lemon star in this version. If you have other beans on hand, like small white beans, you can use them instead.

French baguette bread

8 oz, cut on diagonal into 12 slices and toasted
