Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette or rustic bread
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 large Avocados
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 medium Red chili pepper
- 5 Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for toasting the bread.
Slice the baguette or rustic bread into 1/2 inch thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Brush each slice with extra virgin olive oil, ensuring even coverage.
Toast the bread slices in the oven for 5 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
Halve and pit the avocados. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash it lightly with a fork to create a chunky texture.
Add lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado and mix well to combine.
Finely chop the red chili pepper, removing seeds if a milder flavor is desired, and thinly shred the fresh basil leaves.
Rub the toasted bread slices lightly with a peeled garlic clove for added flavor.
Spread a generous amount of the avocado mixture onto each toasted bread slice.
Sprinkle the chopped chili pepper and shredded basil leaves over the avocado topping.
Serve the bruschetta immediately as an appetizer or snack, and enjoy!
