This new realization turned into a concrete reality when I was planning a pre-movie dinner menu for some of my friends. Because all of us were girls, the Rustic Vegetable Baguette with Smashed Avocado I made was eaten with much enthusiasm, but we all concurred that we would have had a difficult time convincing our guy friends to dive into such a vegetable-themed delicacy. So, if you're in the mood for some chick food, I highly recommend grabbing some fresh sourdough bread, tomatoes and a couple avocados, you won't be disappointed!
Rustic Vegetable Baguette with Smashed Avacado
1 loaf (1 pound) rustic sourdough baguette bread
1/3 cup Italian dressing
6oz sliced cheddar cheese
2 small ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
4 small tomatoes, sliced
1. Set over control to broil. Cut bread horizontally in half. Drizzle dressing on cut side of top half of bread. Arrange cheese on bottom half. Place both halves on large cookie sheet. Broil with tops 4 to 6 inches from heat 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread is slightly golden brown.
2. In small bowl, mash avocados with fork until slightly smooth. Spread avocado over cheese; top with tomato slices and top half of bread. Cut loaf into 4 pieces.
