As a California girl at heart, I will find any excuse to enjoy homemade guacamole. This time I’ve put a spin on my traditional guac by serving it up as the centerpiece in this simply delicious bruschetta recipe. And how can you go wrong with this arsenal of flavor-packed ingredients? The crunchy French bread serves as the perfect host to the avocado mixture, which is overflowing with fresh lime juice, tomatoes and chopped cilantro.

Yield: 12-15 servings Prep Time: 15 min Cook Time: 6 min ½ loaf French bread Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Slice the French bread on the diagonal into ½" rounds and place on a baking sheet. Toast the sliced bread in the oven for 3 minutes, then flip each piece over and toast an additional 3 minutes. Remove the toasted bread from the oven and immediately rub with the clove of garlic (it works best to first cut a small tip off the garlic clove so that the oils will seep out). Brush the tops of the garlic-rubbed toasts with olive oil and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, avocado, onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Mix together gently making sure the avocado is well coated in the lime juice. Spoon a portion of the mixture onto each of the garlic toasts and serve.

Awesome recipe, but I had to add garlic to the actual mixture… you never can have too much garlic!
This looks fantastic; what a good idea!

Thank you for your comment, Kalyn! This was a mash-up of two of my all-time favorite dishes, and the result was addicting. Enjoy!
Great idea! I’m addicted to avocado on toast, and this is just a big step up from that. I’m going to try to remember this one for the next get-together at my place. Thank you!
I made this as an appetiser and it was absolutely amazing. My boyfriend and I ended up eating the left overs for brekky the next day (he added and egg – DELICIOUS). Will be using this recipe for the rest of my life for when friends come over for dinner!! And it was so cheap and everything very easy to get too! :)

Thanks so much for your sweet comment, Melody!
I just made this tonight since we had a half a loaf of bread left from last night’s dinner. We loved it so much that we put the rest of the mix on our burgers. DELISH! Thanks for the recipe.
Love this! I also added a smidge of garlic to the mix :). Such a great app.
Made this tonight for my Bunco group but I left out the cilantro. It was a huge hit! I will definitely be making it again!
Found this on Pinterest a while ago and just got around to making it this week. Yummy stuff! Thanks for the recipe! I think I have become a little obsessed with rubbing a garlic clove on toast! :)
I and my boyfriend tried this recipe as an appetizer last night. we loved it so much, we skipped dinner and made another batch :)!!Keeper!
