Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf (10 oz) Baguette
- 1 cup diced Ripe mango
- 2 peppers, finely chopped Fresh jalapeños
- ¼ cup chopped Fresh cilantro
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed Lime juice
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- To taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Prepare oven and bread: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice baguette into half-inch thick pieces and arrange on baking sheet.
- Season and toast bread: Brush each slice with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Prep fresh ingredients: While bread toasts, dice mango, finely chop jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat), and chop cilantro.
- Make mango mixture: In bowl, combine diced mango, jalapeños, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to avoid mashing mango.
- Assemble bruschetta: Spoon mixture onto each toasted baguette slice just before serving. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.
- Serve immediately: Present right away to maintain optimal crunch and prevent bread from becoming soggy.
Notes
- Choose mangoes that yield slightly to pressure but aren’t mushy for the perfect texture balance
- Remove jalapeño seeds and membranes for milder heat, or keep them for extra spice kick
- Toast bread just before serving to maintain maximum crispiness and prevent sogginess
- Let the mango mixture sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together
