1 Fork or potato masher
1 Spoon
1 Baking sheet
1 Pastry brush
1 Oven
1 Tongs or spatula
1 Serving platter
For the Guacamole
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Bruschetta
- 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, halved
Step 1: Prepare the Guacamole
Mash the Avocados: In a medium bowl, scoop out the avocado flesh and mash it with a fork until you reach your desired consistency. I love mine a little chunky for that extra texture.
Add Fresh Ingredients: Mix in the red onion, tomato, minced garlic, and jalapeño (if you like a bit of heat). Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and stir in the fresh cilantro.
Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. Give it a final stir and set it aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Bruschetta
Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to broil.
Slice and Brush: Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush each slice with olive oil.
Broil: Place the baking sheet under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy. Keep a close eye to prevent burning!
Garlic Rub: Remove the bread from the oven and immediately rub the top of each slice with the halved garlic clove. This infuses the bread with a wonderful, subtle garlic flavor.
Step 3: Assemble the Guacamole Bruschetta
