Use whatever fruit you prefer for this bruschetta, but blueberries and peaches make a great seasonal combination.

The moment I discovered this recipe, I knew it was going to change my potluck game forever. Oh, and also breakfast. Leftovers make the perfect breakfast.

Change out the fruit for whatever you prefer, but I like peaches and blueberries for this time of year.
