Mango Fruit Bruschetta Recipe

If you want to know how to make bruschetta that is sweet, yet peppery, try adding mango fruit into the mix. This fruit gives it a simple twist some might not think to try out. Mango bruschetta can also double as a dessert treat for something new to serve after dinner.

Recipe for Bruschetta With Mango
Ingredients You Will Need:
1 loaf Italian bread (or French bread)
1 mango, peeled and chopped
1 teaspoon fresh basil, finely chopped
1 cup Romano cheese, grated

Start by slicing up your loaf of bread on a diagonal. In a medium bowl, combine your mango and basil, and refrigerate the mixture for about 10 minutes. Broil your slices of bread in the oven for about two minutes on each side. Scoop some of the mango mixture onto the toasted slices. Sprinkle some Romano cheese on top. Then stick the mango bruschetta in the oven for another minute or so. Serve warm.

If you're game, you can also add garlic, onions and chopped Roma tomatoes to the above recipe.

Mango Avocado Bruschetta
Ingredients You Will Need:
1 mango, peeled and chopped
1 avocado, chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup red bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh basil, finely chopped
1 tablespoon of lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl, and stir thoroughly. Be careful not to mash the avocado, but rather keep it in small cubes. Let refrigerate for about 10 minutes. Then take your loaf of bread (preferably French bread) and cut into slices. Broil the slices in the oven for about 2 minutes on each side. Then top them with a scoop of the mango avocado mixture.

The Dessert Variation
Start with individual angel food cake cups or lady fingers. Then take 3 tablespoons of sugar, and bring to a bubble. Then add in sliced mango and sliced strawberries. Let it simmer for another two minutes. Drizzle the fruity mixture over your cakes. Sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top and serve warm.
