Kick off the party with these simple loaded bruschetta that makes the most of a pottle of cottage cheese and tender strips of steak. We love it with a dark rye bread - the wholegrain goodness is the perfect backdrop for all the toppings. But a good quality bread stick works wonders too - we love it when they're fresh from the bakery.

Balsamic glaze is easy to find in the supermarket in the vinegar aisle and keeps forever. Its adds a touch of sweet pickled flavour that is undeniable.
