Mexican Bruchetta

Take day or two old french bread. If concerned about calories, pop in a 400 degree oven for about 5 minutes. If not concerned about calories, you can drizzle with a bit of EVOO and sprinkle with rock salt (just a pinch or two!). Then bake in a 400 degree oven for 5 minutes - or until toasted to the touch (you don't want to bake till brown).

Chop up 1 avocado, 4 small (or 2 large) seeded tomatoes, 1/4 red onion, and 1 Tablespoon fresh cilantro. Toss together and mince 1 good sized clove of garlic, toss in with 1/4 teaspoon salt and juice from 1/2 a lime. Let rest while bread is toasting.

When the bread is done, eat Bruschetta style. If desired, you can top the pieces of bread with a poached egg, and then top with a 1/4 cup of bruschetta. I know, I know. Sounds weird - but very good!

The Bruschetta (minus eggs) passed the husband test tonight.
