Bruschetta with avocado and goat cheese
This delicious bruschetta with avocado and goat cheese was originally another Donna Hay recipe for the challenge… The challenge where I tried to make all the recipes from one particle Donna Hay magazine and failed in the process. There were a total of 85 recipes and I think I managed till about 25 or so. Which was still not too bad but obviously not the challenge.
However, I got to make a couple of totally delicious recipes while doing this challenge and this simple yet delicious bruschetta with avocado and goat cheese was one of them. Super easy but the added roasted lime really did elevate the recipe to the next level.
Juicy and sweet
The acidity of the lime almost becomes a bit mellow and sweet when you roast it and a squeeze on top of the bruschetta with avocado is beautiful. And avocado is fatty but it is very healthy fat.. 😉 So even though this is a simple recipe it’s still pretty filling. If you want a little less avocado you can decrease the amount of avocado used. I like to have a fair amount on it for best results.

Gorgeous pictures and I would love this sandwich.
I’ve seen people grilling lemons but never thought about lime. This is simple yet so flavorful with all the refreshing taste of the toppings. Beautiful!
Thanks so much Holly!
I’m also not a fan of avocado but love of that roasted lime Like John, I am also wondering why I have never done it. It is getting on my bucket list of to dos. Thanks for sharing, Simone.
You’re welcome! Let me know how you like it if you do!
I feel the same way about avocado. I wouldn’t sit down and eat one by itself. 🙂 I would, however, eat one of these bruschettas!
O yes you can easily eat one of those Maureen! It’s delicious!
Why have I never roasted lime? It never even occurred to me. Gotta try that! This looks terrific. Nice photos — love that little drop of water and grain of pepper, which are particularly visible in the 2nd photo.
I would probably not have tried it if I hadn’t seen it done in the Donna Hay magazine! Thanks John!
Beautiful and mouthwatering! A great choice of toppings.
Cheers,
Rosa
Thanks so much Rosa!
