This Pomegranate, Cranberry and Brie Bruschetta is obviously different than your standard tomato one. This is very bright and fresh and most likely different than you have had before. It is relatively simple to put together, just have to find these ingredients which might be a little seasonal or have to go to a health food market. Don’t be afraid of pomegranate seeds, they are very good. Either way, enjoy this bright bastard!
