Ingredients
Scale
Roasted Garlic
- 1 bulb Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Main Toast
- 2 slices Whole Grain Bread
- 4 slices Buffalo Mozzarella Ball
- 1 Avocado
- 1/2 cup Pomegranate Seeds
- Ground Black Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Garlic Bulb: Cut about 1/2 inch (1 cm) off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves and gently peel off excess papery skin, leaving skins on the individual cloves intact.
- Roast Garlic: Pour 1 teaspoon olive oil into the garlic bulb, then wrap it in aluminum foil and place directly on the oven rack. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 30 to 40 minutes until cloves are soft. Allow to cool slightly before handling. Keep the oven on.
- Slice Cheese and Avocado: Thinly slice 4 slices of buffalo mozzarella (about 1/4 inch thick) and the avocado into even slices.
- Toast Bread: Lightly toast 2 slices of whole grain bread in a toaster until golden and crisp.
- Spread Roasted Garlic: Use a garlic press or your fingers to mash 2 to 4 cloves of the roasted garlic and spread evenly onto each slice of toasted bread. Add more garlic if desired for stronger flavor.
- Top with Cheese: Place 2 slices of mozzarella on each garlic-spread toast.
- Melt Cheese: Arrange the topped toasts on a baking sheet and place them in the warm oven for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
- Add Avocado and Pomegranate: Quickly layer the sliced avocado on top of the melted cheese, then sprinkle 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds evenly over each toast.
- Season: Finish with a dash of ground black pepper to taste and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- For milder garlic flavor, reduce the amount of roasted garlic used.
- You can substitute buffalo mozzarella with fresh mozzarella if unavailable.
- Use ripe but firm avocados for best slicing texture.
- Adjust pomegranate quantity to your liking for sweetness and crunch.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm cheese and fresh toppings.
