The Best Bruschetta Recipe: Avocado, Feta, and Tomato Delight
Fresh and delicious appetizer that will impress your guests and tantalize your taste buds!
Ingredients
- 1 baguette
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2-4 ripe tomatoes
- 2-4 garlic cloves
- 1-2 tablespoons roasted sesame oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Feta cheese for garnish
- Fresh basil or parsley optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it nice and hot for toasting.
- Slice the Baguette: Cut the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring each piece has ample space to crisp up.
- Toast the Bread: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning!
- Prepare the Avocados and Tomatoes: While the baguette is toasting, wash the avocados and slice them in half. Carefully remove the pits and set the flesh aside. Next, wash and slice the tomatoes, and peel the garlic cloves.
- Infuse with Garlic: Once the baguette slices are perfectly toasted, remove them from the oven. While they’re still warm, rub one side of each slice with the peeled garlic cloves. This will impart a delicious garlicky flavor.
- Top with Avocado: Spoon a generous dollop of the creamy avocado onto each toasted baguette slice, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
- Add the Tomatoes: Place a slice of fresh tomato on top of the avocado, allowing the vibrant color and juicy texture to shine through.
- Crumble Feta: Finish off each bruschetta with a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese, adding a tangy kick that pairs beautifully with the other ingredients.
- Salt and Black Pepper: Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the assembled bruschetta to bring out the flavors.
- Final Touch: For the grand finale, drizzle a bit of roasted sesame oil over the top to enhance the flavors and add a hint of nuttiness.
