@JudyEv I think that all Italians like a good bruschetta.

Thanks Anna. I knew you'd know what was correct and what wasn't.

Unless I happen to be a food snob, I am going to eat my bruschetta any way the hell I want to.

To me, it would be unacceptable to have an egg on top of my beloved brushetta. Waiting for @LadyDuck verdict

I fully agree with you, not something an Italian would ever do.

I would not like to eat a cold poached egg, with or without the bruschetta. Much less a fridge cold egg.

if it's chilled boiled egg, i'm okay with it. but somehow chilled poached egg with a runny yolk seems strange.

@hereandthere I thought so too. I wouldn't want it again.

It's a very strange thing isn't it? Especially the fridge cold bit.

Is there no simpler name for this. Just a toast and some tomato slices. Give me a break (lol)

I love bruschetta, but I would do without the egg on top. I hope it's not a new trend or something. I don't want to see everyone suddenly eating bruschetta with an egg on top because someone said it was trendy.

@JudyEv Well, I guess since everybody is different and have different tastes in things, to someone out there this is an improvement on something they felt needed improving upon. But I'm with you on this, it is perfectly fine as it is, and doesn't need improving at all.

I wouldn't want to see it either. It just spoils something traditional that doesn't need improvement - or improvisation.

I do like a bit of bruschetta but I've never seen it with a poached egg on. I find it strange that the egg was chilled too. Was the yolk still runny?

I was a bit surprised especially when it was chilled. The yolk was runny.

@hereandthere I think the more pertinent question is WHY did they do that???

@JudyEv true. some things are good on their own but not together.

It was tasty enough but it seemed a bit like having sugar on tomatoes or something like that. Like it wasn't a good match.

Love bruschetta but your post makes me think of something else. I was watching one of my favorite TV chefs and he had a guest chef on with him. I forget the dish they made together. I just remember the guest chef saying to complete the dish it was absolutely necessary to add an egg on top! In the country he comes from everything tastes better with an egg on top of it!

I often enhance my leftovers with eggs.

We do too. But a cold egg is something different.

@judyev Bruschetta is sublime, but with an egg on top would be quite unacceptable to me. Best bruschetta I ever had was at Ecco Bomba off the Piazza Navona in Rome. Long way to go for a snack though.

Looks tasty but I would have it without the egg! Grilled bread olive oil garlic and tomato (my favourite) but I know there are so many variations of it too. One I had was with peas and I was not keen on that one!

I've never had it with an egg. They vary in quality a bit but a good one makes a lovely light meal.

Huh, a little odd, but I would definitely try one

. I love bruschettas and I prefer them simple, toast, chopped tomatoes, olive oil and salt. But I would love to try all kinds of variations as long as they taste good. Still, that egg should be hot, definitely not cold

I like the simple ones too. When you order you're never too sure what you'll get but I wasn't expecting an egg - well, I suppose actually I was because it was written on the menu.

I do love bruschetta also. We have an Italian bakery nearby that makes some nice bruschetta that I often purchase and then put on the grill when we are barbequing. I am not a huge fan of too much balsamic vinegar on it. I haven't ever had it with an egg on it, that must have been interesting.
