Avocado Feta Crostini Italian Toast Bruschetta Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, combine butter and oil; brush onto both sides of bread. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned on top., Combine the feta cheese, garlic and basil; sprinkle over toast. Top with tomato. Bake 8-10 minutes longer or until heated through. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Whisk together the first 8 ingredients; stir in herbs. Fold in avocados. Place bread on an ungreased baking sheet. Broil 3-4 in. from heat until golden brown, 1-2 minutes per side. Top with avocado mixture.

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.
