Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 French baguette (really long Italian bread)
1 ripe avocado
1/4 lb feta cheese (1 cup), divided
1 tablespoon lemon juice (to keep avocado mix from going brown)
3 Tablespoons salt, divided
3 Tablespoons garlic salt, divided
1 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 tomatoes
2 Tablespoons parsley

Steps:

  • Cut your baguette at a slight angle (to allow for more spreading surface). Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix avocado, 3/4 cup feta (the rest of the feta will be used to sprinkle on top), lemon juice, 2 Tablespoons salt, 2 Tablespoons garlic salt and 3/4 cup olive oil. Blend well in food processor.
  • Place 1 Tablespoon of avocado mixture onto each sliced baguette piece, spread to cover the whole slice. Take the remaining feta 1/4 cup and sprinkle it on top of spread placed on baguette. Place in oven for approx. 10 minutes.
  • While baguettes are crisping, slice tomatoes in long slices and take the seeds out. Pour 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 Tablespoon salt, 1 Tablespoon garlic salt and parsley over the tomatoes you have sliced. Coat the tomatoes evenly.
  • Take the baguettes out of the oven and place a slice of tomatoes on each baguette and serve.

AVOCADO, FETA AND PANCETTA BRUSCHETTA



Avocado, Feta and Pancetta Bruschetta image

Bruschetta derives from the Italian 'bruscare' meaning "to roast over coals". At its most authentic, Italian country-style bread is toasted over coals, rubbed with garlic and seasoned while hot with sea salt and fruity, virgin, cold-pressed olive oil. More commonly in English-speaking countries, the toasted garlic bread is topped with tomatoes and summery herbs. This version, without tomato, is a little different and is perfect for a casual lunch for 2 people, or as an appetiser for 4 people.

Time 25m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 slices Italian bread, 3/4-inch -1-inch thick (no thicker, or it won't warm right through)
2 garlic cloves, each peeled and sliced in half
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
5 ounces lean bacon or 5 ounces pancetta
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 large avocado, peeled, stoned and cut into small chunks
1 cup coarsely chopped rocket
12 basil leaves, roughly torn
3 teaspoons pine nuts, lightly toasted in a low oven
2 -3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare all ingredients just before planning to eat.
  • In a medium sized bowl combine the feta cheese, avocado, rocket, basil, pine nuts and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add an extra tablespoon of olive oil to further moisten this mixture if preferred.
  • Saute the bacon or pancetta in a little oil until crisp, then chop finely and add to the feta cheese/avocado mixture.
  • Set topping mixture aside while preparing the bread.
  • Toast the bread over hot coals (preferably), on the bbq or under the oven grill/broiler, until crusty and golden brown on the outside, but warm and soft inside. Keep an eye on it as it can suddenly burn!
  • While the toast is still piping hot, rub one side of each slice with the cut side of a garlic clove, then quickly brush each slice with a tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Spoon the topping mixture on to the toasted bread, and season with freshly cracked black pepper - depending on the saltiness of the feta and bacon you use, you probably won't need to season with salt.
  • Serve immediately.
