After making this recipe weekly, I can confirm that tomato avocado bruschetta is the perfect base for a vast, delicious variety of additional toppings. Serve it as an appetizer or add an egg for breakfast. It’s quick, easy, and tasty any time of day!
save this recipe!We love avocados around here (they are our logo, after all). Not only are they healthy, but they can be used to make everything fromthe classic avocado toast to avocado chocolate mousse pie. And now, bruschetta!
This avocado and tomato bruschetta will become a quick favorite. It only takes 20 minutes to whip up, and thanks to tomatoes, balsamic, and a toasted baguette, it’s the perfect combination of creamy, sweet, juicy, tangy, and crunchy.

You don’t need much
Don’t worry; I’ve included a full list of additional toppings you can add at the bottom, too!
- Bread: I like to use a baguette which is traditional to bruschetta. It’s the perfect hand-held size when sliced.
- Avocado Mixture: This is a combination of mashed avocado, fresh basil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Tomatoes and Balsamic: For the fresh topping, you’ll mix tomatoes with oil and garlic. Finish with a drizzle of balsamic reduction and flaky sea salt.
Tomato swap
For a sweeter take, this bruschetta is also delicious with diced peaches. Sweet and savory – yum!
It’s so simple
Here’s a quick overview, but don’t forget the flaky sea salt before serving!
Step 1: Broil The Bread
Preheat the oven to broil. Slice 1 baguette diagonally and arrange slices on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with extra virgin olive oil. Place the pan in the middle of the oven and broil for 5 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 2: Create The Tomato Mixture
Meanwhile, combine quartered cherry tomatoes with extra virgin olive oil and part of the minced garlic.
Step 3: Prepare The Avocados
Scoop the flesh from the avocados into a bowl and mash it with a fork. Stir in the remaining minced garlic, finely chopped basil, salt, and pepper.
Step 4: Assemble the bruschetta
To assemble, spoon the avocado mixture onto each piece of toasted baguette. Top with the tomato mixture.

If you have extra tomatoes or avocado, add them to this bruschetta pizza with burrata. This uses so many of the same ingredients, so it’s a great way to repurpose leftovers!
