Ingredients
- 9 ounce avocado (1 large avocado, ripe, seeded & pulp coarsely chopped)
- 1 tomato (large, seedy material removed & pulp diced)
- 6 garlic cloves (roasted, fork-smashed)
- Red onion (1/8 onion, cut in small dice)
- 72 grams olives (12 black olives, cut in small dice)
- 4 ounces pancetta ham (crisped & roughly crumbled)
- 3 tablespoons fresh basil (chopped, may use 1 tsp dry basil)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
- 1 medium loaf (16 ounces) baguette bread (sliced diagonally into at least 12 slices)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Prepare all the ingredients according to the details of the ingredient list. Gently combine them until well-mixed & chill (covered) in the refrigerator for at least 2 hrs to allow the flavors to blend .. until you are ready to top & serve your bruschetta.
-
Step 2: When ready to serve, divide the mixture in a roughly equal amt & top 12 baguette slices. Yield is approx 6 servings or 2 baguette slices per person.
-
Step 3: NOTE: When I made this recipe, I found it in need of salt & pepper as I usually do, so I revised the ingredient list & suggest a taste test before you decide to add either. I took the pic you see at that time & departed from the recipe in 2 ways: 1) I used sml baguette rolls instead of a larger baguette loaf & 2) I lightly dusted the tops w/the powder variety of Parmesan cheese & to my surprise found I liked it (Just another thought for you to consider)
