Bruschetta may be an Italian creation, but that doesn’t mean Postino WineCafé isn’t ready to spice things up a bit.

This limited-time spin on the classic appetizer includes Mexican street corn as a topper on a delicious piece of toast. The recipe was included in Postino’s summer “Battle of the Bruschetta,” an ongoing, bracket-style competition. The championship round is set to start this week.
