Mastering Your Camping Bruschetta

Bread Selection: Choose a sturdy French bread or baguette that won't get soggy from the toppings. Day-old bread works perfectly and toasts even better.

Cream Cheese Prep: Let cream cheese sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before mixing, or soften in the sun at your campsite for easier spreading.

Berry Substitutions: Use any combination of fresh berries you have available - strawberries, blackberries, or even frozen berries (thawed and drained) work wonderfully.

Make-Ahead Tip: Pre-mix the honey cream cheese at home and store in a sealed container in your cooler for quick assembly at camp.

Toasting Method: If you don't have a grill, toast bread slices in a cast iron skillet or even hold them carefully over campfire coals using tongs.

Storage Advice: Best enjoyed fresh, but assembled bruschetta can be kept in a sealed container for 2-3 hours before the bread softens.
