Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Drizzle a little olive oil over the bread slices and place them on a baking tray. Toast them in the oven for about 3–5 minutes until they are golden and slightly crisp on the edges

Step 2

Brown the almond slices in a frying pan or in the oven

Step 3

Remove the bread from the oven. Spread a generous amount of goat cheese over the bread, season with thyme leaves, salt and pepper

Step 4

Cut the guava paste into small cubes, transfer to a bowl and season with olive oil, lemon zest, a little lemon juice, salt and pepper and then arrange over the cheese

Step 5

Optional: Return the bruschettas to the oven for another 3–5 minutes. You want the cheese to soften and the goiabada to become slightly glossy and "melted," and the almonds to turn a light golden brown

Step 6

Finish with the sliced ​​almonds, a drizzle of olive oil and more black pepper, if desired.
