Eggplant Bruschetta - Low Carb, Paleo, Gluten Free

Bruschetta is a classic Italian appetizer. It is the perfect way to capture the fresh flavors of tomatoes, basil, and garlic. It is traditionally served on olive oil and garlic brushed pieces of rustic Italian bread. I put my own low carb and paleo spin on this traditional classic and served it atop roasted eggplant slices. I also love to mix in some fresh mozzarella cheese into the bruschetta and bake it on top of chicken. Yum!
