A quick and impressive fusion appetizer that combines creamy guacamole with a zesty tomato bruschetta topping on crispy garlic toast. Ready in under 20 minutes, it’s perfect for parties or a light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Avocado Mash:
  • 2 large ripe avocados
  • 2 tbsp lime juice (from 1 small lime)
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped red onion
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • For the Tomato Topping:
  • 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil, thinly sliced
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • For Serving:
  • 1 baguette or ciabatta loaf, sliced
  • Olive oil for brushing
  • 1 clove garlic, halved

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread. Preheat your oven broiler. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and broil for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Immediately rub the cut side of the halved garlic clove over the warm toast.
  2. Make the tomato topping. In a small bowl, combine the quartered tomatoes, 1 tbsp olive oil, sliced basil, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (if using). Toss gently and set aside.
  3. Prepare the avocado base. In a medium bowl, scoop out the avocado flesh. Add lime juice, red onion, minced garlic, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth with some chunks.
  4. Assemble and serve. Spread a generous layer of the avocado mash onto each piece of garlic-rubbed toast. Top with a spoonful of the tomato mixture. Serve immediately.

Notes

Assemble just before serving to keep the toast crisp. For a make-ahead option, prep the tomato topping and avocado mash separately, storing the avocado with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to prevent browning.
