Pawpaw and Prosciutto Bruschetta

Crunchy bruschetta and red onion with silky pawpaw and salty prosciutto make this a fresh and tasty dish for lunch or an anytime snack.

Ingredients

  • ½ loaf sourdough bread, cut into 1 cm slices
  • 1 large clove garlic, cut in half

  • ¼ cup walnuts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil, extra, for drizzling
