Avocado, Feta And Pancetta Bruschetta

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Loved it!! All said and done i prob doubled the pine nuts and pancetta but that only added to the goodness that filled my mouth!! That said it was a little salty but I'm sure that was due to the whopping amount of pancetta! Would for sure make again. My avocado was super ripe so it didn't really stay in the small chunk form, it was more mashed but that made it all the more spreadable on my toasted baguette. thanks!! gonna eat it again for lunch today, can't wait!!

    Avocado, Feta and Pancetta Bruschetta, Bruschetta derives from the Italian ‘bruscare’ meaning to roast over coals At its most authentic, Italian country-style bread is toasted over coals, rubbed with garlic and seasoned while hot with sea salt and fruity, virgin, cold-pressed olive oil More commonly in English-speaking countries, the toasted garlic bread is topped with tomatoes and summery herbs This version, without tomato, is a little different and is perfect for a casual lunch for 2 people, or as an appetiser for 4 people , Loved it!! All said and done i prob doubled the pine nuts and pancetta but that only added to the goodness that filled my mouth!! That said it was a little salty but I’m sure that was due to the whopping amount of pancetta! Would for sure make again My avocado was super ripe so it didn’t really stay in the small chunk form, it was more mashed but that made it all the more spreadable on my toasted baguette thanks!! gonna eat it again for lunch today, can’t wait!!, So so delicious A unique and outstanding combination of ingredients, that came together so perfectly, I will be making again and again

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Prepare All Ingredients Just Before Planning to Eat.

    2
    Done

    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.

    3
    Done

    Saute the Bacon or Pancetta in a Little Oil Until Crisp, Then Chop Finely and Add to the Feta Cheese/Avocado Mixture.

    4
    Done

    Set Topping Mixture Aside While Preparing the Bread.

    5
    Done

    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!

    6
    Done

    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.

    7
    Done

    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.

    Done

    Serve Immediately.
