Crispy pita bread works too. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Serve separately. <\/strong>To prevent the bread from softening during your gatherings, serve the chickpea mixture in a bowl with the bread  and pesto on the side. This way everyone can assemble their own bruschetta. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Swap the spread. <\/strong>Sun-dried tomato pesto, ricotta, and tapenade are great swaps for basil pesto in this recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add drizzles. <\/strong>Balsamic reduction, truffle oil, and aioli are perfect for adding a finishing touch to these appetizers. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"This chickpea bruschetta recipe with basil pesto on toasty sourdough bread is a refreshing summer appetizer.
