Mummy’s Fast & Easy

I love making small bites and canapés, it’s a great way to taste bits and pieces of different flavors.
And the one thing I really enjoy making is bruschetta – you can top them up with everything you like, so many different toppings to try!
Last time I made mine with avocado paste and grilled scallops.
These tasted divine!
If you like seafood, you’re gonna love them!
I also made some tomato and olive bruschetta, so there was a nice mixture of tasty bruschettas!

Here’s what you need.

  2. Place the sliced baguette on a baking tray. Rub gently the garlic cloves Drizzle olive oil on top and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  3. To prepare the scallops – place them in a heated griddle pan with a bit of olive oil and cook for about 2 minutes on each site. Be careful – scallops are very tender and don’t need lots of cooking. Season with salt.

  5. Top the bruschettas with the avocado paste and then arrange a scallop.
