AVOCADO FETA CROSTINI ITALIAN TOAST BRUSCHETTA
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
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.

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.
