Avocado, Pea & Goats Cheese Bruschetta

Pea and avocado bruschetta

I've not been around much. Have you missed me?

My laptop has been AWOL. An update to Windows 8.1 wiped most of the contents of my computer, so my laptop has been on vacation at not one, but two repair shops. It came back to me working, but an empty shell, so I'm now playing catch up and trying not to think of all the work I've lost.

I'm back with a simple lunch idea. Avocado and pea bruschetta. It's a quick and healthy meal that you're bound to enjoy as much as I did.

Lightly toasted bread rubbed with a clove of garlic, then topped with peppery mashed avocado, lightly cooked peas, salty goats cheese and a drizzle of balsamic reduction.

I used a shop bought balsamic glaze I keep in the fridge, but If you would like to make your own, check out Elizabeth's tutorial.
