Molly Yeh gives bruschetta a more vibrant flavor by adding a traditional antipasti ingredient—giardiniera, Italian pickled vegetables with a distinctly tart, spicy flavor. She slices the loaf in half lengthwise, tops it with toppings, bakes it, and then slices it into portions—a quick and convenient way to make it.

Ingredients:

• 1 loaf of crispy bread weighing 450 g.
• 4 tbsp (57 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2 tbsp (30 g) mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup (60 g) grated provolone (hard, low-fat cheese made from cow's milk)
• 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, finely chopped, plus extra for serving
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped, plus extra for serving
• 1 tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped, plus extra for serving
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 2–3 drops of Worcestershire sauce
• 2 large cloves garlic, finely grated
• 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
• A couple of turns of the black pepper mill
• 1 tbsp. (140 g) Italian giardiniera, drain the liquid and chop the vegetables finely
• Grated Parmesan for sprinkling
