Avocado and Haloumi Bruschetta

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Line two oven trays with baking paper.
2. Slice Turkish loaf open into 2 halves. Cut each half into 6 pieces. Spray both sides of each piece with cooking oil.
3. Place bread on an oven tray and bake for 6 minutes or until lightly browned.
4. In a medium bowl, combine avocado, onion, tomatoes, oil and lemon juice. Season to taste.
5. Cut haloumi into 12 slices. In a large non-stick frying pan, pan-fry haloumi for 1 minute on each side or until browned.
6. Top each piece of bread with one slice of haloumi and a large spoonful of the avocado mixture. Top with rocket leaves to serve.
Fresh Tip: Keep firm avocados next to ripe banana in the fruit bowl. The ethylene in bananas will speed up ripening.
