 Bruschetta
INGREDIENTS
Baguettes
2
Butter
125 grams
Garlic cloves (minced)
2
For the Salsa
 
Cherry Tomatoes
2 punnets
Avocados (diced)
2
Red Onion (diced)
1/2
Basil
1 handful
Salt
1 Teaspoon
Balsamic Vinegar
2 tablespoons
Olive Oil
3 Tablespoons
Pepper
To taste
Prawns (optional)
1 per bruschetta

Prepare the Salsa

Depending on the size of your tomatoes, slice them in quarters or eighths. 

Place in a medium mixing bowl.

Add in other ingredients and mix to combine.

Leave aside to allow the flavours to develop.

 

Prepare the Bruschetta base

Cut the baguettes on the diagonal into slices.

Add minced garlic into the melted butter

Brush each side with melted butter and arrange in single layer on lined baking trays.

Bake in a 160C oven for about 5-10 minutes or until golden.

Turn each piece at the halfway mark and continue to bake so that both sides are golden.

The bake time will change depending the type of baguette you use. Dense sourdough baguettes take less time and light -Vietnamese style baguettes take longer. You basically want a crunchy bread base to hold your topping.

 

Assembly

Taste the salsa and season if necessary.

This salsa is best eaten at room temperature to get maximum flavour from the tomatoes and avocados.

Spoon salsa on top of prepared bruschetta base.

Top with a grilled prawn (optional).

 

You can prepare this salsa hours in advance and chill until needed. Bring it out to room temperature and grill the prawns and assemble just before serving.
