Swap the tortilla chips for garlicky toasts with this top-rated recipe for Guacamole Bruschetta!
As a California girl at heart, I will find any excuse to enjoy homemade guacamole. This time I’ve put a spin on my 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.

Ingredients
- 1/2 loaf French bread
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tomatoes, medium chopped
- 2 avocados, medium chopped
- 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- 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.

What’s the white crumbly stuff on top?
Cotija cheese!
The gauc recipe is superb and putting it on top of crusty French bread was a tasty twist to using a plain old chip!
I additionally added a smidge of garlic to the blend. Such an incredible application.
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!
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it, Anju!
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! :)
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!
Love this! I also added a smidge of garlic to the mix :). Such a great app.
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.
