Like the best breakfast avocado toast you’ve ever had. Except the bread is grilled instead of toasted giving it that rustic smoky flavor throughout along with a soft interior and crispy exterior. The perfect texture to hold up to all the wonderful toppings of tomatoes and smoky tempeh bits.

The perfect appetizers for your next party or garden brunch. Just remember you are working with avocados and they don’t keep very well, so only smash them just before serving. Also when making it for a crowd, it would be best to make miniature versions of this or “ Crostini ”, using bite size small slices of baguette.
 
Let’s Do This!

How to Make Italian Avocado Bruschetta Appetizers:

  1. Grill slices of crusty bread until nice grill marks form.
  2. Rub the bread with a clove of garlic to your liking.
  3. Traditionally lightly brush with olive oil & a pinch of salt.
  4. Top smashed avocado, tomatoes and basil, or your favorite toppings.
  5. Optional: finish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar reduction.
Bruschetta “bru-ske-ta” is actually the grilled bread rubbed with garlic, the toppings are just pleasant filling additions but not necessary.
