AVOCADO, FETA AND PANCETTA BRUSCHETTA



Avocado, Feta and Pancetta Bruschetta image

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.

Time 25m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 slices Italian bread, 3/4-inch -1-inch thick (no thicker, or it won't warm right through)
2 garlic cloves, each peeled and sliced in half
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
5 ounces lean bacon or 5 ounces pancetta
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 large avocado, peeled, stoned and cut into small chunks
1 cup coarsely chopped rocket
12 basil leaves, roughly torn
3 teaspoons pine nuts, lightly toasted in a low oven
2 -3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare all ingredients just before planning to eat.
  • 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.
  • Saute the bacon or pancetta in a little oil until crisp, then chop finely and add to the feta cheese/avocado mixture.
  • Set topping mixture aside while preparing the bread.
  • 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!
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Serve immediately.
