This dish is a perfect balance of softness and saltiness, ideal for enhancing an appetizer during the holidays. The crispy, golden slices of brioche bread are paired with a creamy avocado "butter," seasoned with oil, lemon, salt, and pepper, offering a fresh and velvety flavor. The anchovies add a savory and intense note, while the Milano salami brings a richer texture and a bold aroma. Served on a rustic plate and garnished with fresh sprouts, this dish is perfect for a festive, elegant, and delicious setting.

Ingredients:

16 slices of brioche bread (or alternatively, a gastronomic panettone)
200 g of Milano salami
12 anchovies
1 ripe avocado
Olive oil, salt, pepper, and a few drops of lemon

Preparation

Step 1

Start by toasting the slices of brioche bread in a non-stick pan or toaster until they become golden and crispy. If you prefer, you can also use a gastronomic panettone for a more rustic and hearty result. Once ready, let the slices cool slightly to avoid them becoming too hard.

Step 2

Peel and pit the avocado, then mash it with a fork until you get a smooth, creamy texture. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and add a few drops of lemon to give the mixture some freshness. Stir well until you achieve a smooth and creamy avocado "butter."

Step 3

Spread a generous layer of avocado butter on the toasted brioche slices. Top with the anchovies and Milano salami, alternating the ingredients to create a colorful and flavorful dish. Garnish with a small salad of fresh sprouts for a refreshing touch, and serve on a rustic plate, ready to enjoy.
