Good morning, friends! I have a feeling that you guys are feeling like me right now – ready for some simple, healthy eats after all the holiday indulgence! Well, I’ve got you covered – introducing Edamame Bruschetta! Easy to make, simple, delicious, and protein packed, too. The perfect snack. 🙂
My friends at Wasa recently reached out to me about creating a recipe that would go well with their line of crispbread crackers. Funnily enough, I actually ate Wasa crackers a lot when I was teaching English in Prague! Considering I couldn’t read the ingredient labels on any of the other cracker-like items at the store, it seemed like a safe bet. I love that they’re super crunchy and only have a few, pronounceable ingredients, too.
Wasa sent me a gift card (to purchase ingredients) and four boxes of different crispbread varieties (they have a ton: Whole Grain, Multi Grain, Light Rye, Hearty Rye, Sourdough Rye, Fiber Rye, and Sesame) to use for my creation. For this recipe, I decided to rock the classic multi grain. 🙂
I was in the mood for a healthy and protein-packed snack, so I decided to try my hand at a fun bruschetta using edamame (soy beans), which we randomly have mass quantities of in the freezer right now. I think Matt and I both keep buying it, thinking we’re out… and now we have a fridge full of frozen edamame. I’m okay with that, especially when it makes things as delicious as this bruschetta!

Easy enough, right? Give it a try! This would be a fun snack during the workday, too – just pack the bruschetta mixture and the crispbread in separate ziplock bags, then assemble when you’re ready to eat! That way nothing gets soggy.
