Easy Avocado Bruschetta

I love this dish! It is a perfect quick, elegant appetizer if you are ever entertaining. I don't get to have many dinner parties, so I made sure to make this particular one super special. This was my first course - super easy to prepare while you're working on your main dish. And who can resist avocado?

Here's what you need:

1/2 loaf french-style bread
1 avocado, diced
1/2 tomato, sliced
Roughly 15 leaves fresh basil, chopped
2 Tbl olive oil;

Preheat your oven to 350. Slice french bread diagonally, so that the surface area of the dough is a few inches. Brush with olive oil and bake on a cookie sheet for 10 minutes.

While your bread is toasting, toss together the avocado, tomato, basil and olive oil in a medium-sized bowl.

When your bread is finished, spoon the tomato mixture onto the bread slices. Serve with a fancy pants cocktail while you're frantically putting together your main dish!
