Avocado sandwiches
It is worth noting that sandwiches with pasta and sprats are just one snack option; red fish, scrambled eggs, smoked sausage and other ingredients go well with grated avocado.
Meanwhile, do not forget that fish, smoked meats, and sausages add high calorie content to sandwiches. If you want a nutritious and light snack, it is best to make it from a combination of bread, pasta and tomato or cucumber.

5. Spread the cheese mixture on each square of bread.
6. Place a thin slice of moderately or lightly salted red fish on one sandwich. Cover with the second greased bread.
7. Grease the top with cheese again. Stick cucumber strips tightly. Carefully turn over and cut off excess.
8. On the other side of the sandwich we do the same. The cucumber is well fixed to the plastic mass. But you still need to turn it over and cut it more carefully.
9. Then we cut each striped square diagonally into 2 parts. The result is beautiful and delicious triangles. Their edges, if desired, can be coated with a cheese mixture and breaded in sesame seeds or herbs.
Place the triangles vertically on a flat dish and bring them to the table. They look very impressive!

What can I add?
Avocado and salmon bruschetta can be varied with the following ingredients:
Bruschetta with avocado and salmon can be supplemented with butter, cottage cheese, olives and other ingredients.
| Product | How will it affect the finished dish? | In what quantities should you add? |
| Butter | Butter can be used as an alternative substitute for cottage cheese and cream cheese. The product gives a characteristic creamy taste. You can also use melted butter instead of olive oil. Oil makes the filling richer and richer. | To prepare a dish for 3-4 servings you will need no more than 30 ml of butter. |
| Cottage cheese | Curd cheese is used quite often in cooking. Curd cheese is the basis of many creams for cakes and cupcakes. Cottage cheese is a salty cottage cheese with a lighter and silkier consistency. Cheese can be used in the bruschetta recipe as a layer for ciabatta, or for filling. | To prepare the dish you will need approximately 100-150 g of curd cheese. If desired, you can make a rather dense layer, depending on your taste preferences. |
| Tomatoes | Tomatoes give the finished dish a sour, fresh taste. Tomatoes can be cut into cubes and slices. Fresh tomatoes go well in the recipe with other additional ingredients. To prevent the bruschetta from becoming soggy, it is best to remove excess liquid and juice first. | To prepare the dish you will need no more than 2 medium-sized tomatoes. |
| Chicken egg | Eggs are used in the recipe to saturate the finished product with healthy proteins. Chicken eggs make the product more juicy and rich. You can boil a chicken egg hard-boiled and cut into cubes, or you can cook a poached egg. | To prepare the dish you will need about 1 chicken egg. |
| Cream cheese | Cream cheese is similar in consistency to cream cheese. Cream cheese is a richer, denser product that goes perfectly with toasted bread. | To prepare the dish you will need no more than 100 g of cream cheese. |
| Cucumber | Cucumbers allow you to diversify the recipe of the finished dish, as well as saturate the product with fiber. Cucumbers make the finished bruschetta more juicy and fresh, and also goes well with cream cheese. | To prepare the dish you will need no more than 1 medium-sized cucumber. |
| Garlic | Garlic is a versatile additive that allows you to diversify the recipe of any snack. Garlic can be sliced and placed as a separate layer of bruschetta. You can also add the garlic to a blender and mix with the mashed avocado. In this way, you can achieve an even distribution of garlic (slightly spicy) taste over the entire area of the snack. In addition to its pleasant taste, garlic makes the finished dish more aromatic. | To prepare mild bruschetta you will need no more than 2 cloves of garlic. To make the snack more colorful, you will need about 3-4 cloves. You can also use dried product. |
| Ginger | Ginger is another versatile supplement that can be used either fresh or dried. The taste of ginger can vary depending on the type and variety. Classic ginger gives the dish a rather tart, slightly bitter taste. Ginger can be used with other additional ingredients. | To prepare the dish you will need no more than 2-3 cm of fresh peeled ginger root. You can also use no more than 1 tsp. dried ingredient. |
| Red onion | Using red onions, you can make the finished dish more rich and tasty. Unprocessed onions give a certain bitterness, which is better revealed against the background of salty fish and fatty, oily avocado pulp. To prepare this dish, it is best to use small, fresh onions. It is best to cut the onion into thin half rings. | To prepare a dish for 2-3 servings, you will need no more than 1 small onion. |
In addition to fresh products, you can use various aromatic spicy spices for cooking.
How to serve a dish
The finished dish should be served cold. If desired, you can decorate the resulting bruschetta with sprigs of dill, parsley or leaves of mint, spinach and cilantro. If desired, you can add some crushed nuts or sesame seeds to decorate the resulting product.
