It's hard to beat crunchy toasts buried beneath flavorful toppings. Bruschetta is always a party crowd-pleaser. Here, pureed edamame, or fresh soybeans, provide a creamy base on which the diced tomatoes can stick, which makes for easier eating. Don't skip the step of letting the diced tomatoes stand after seasoning. This helps them release some of their juices, which get incorporated into the edamame puree, and gives the topping a less watery texture that keeps the toasted bread from getting soggy. Sprinkle each bruschetta with thinly sliced fresh mint or basil, minced rosemary, or a pinch of fresh thyme leaves.
