These avocado and sundried tomato bites make for the perfect party appetizer that every avocado fan will love! They are also easy to make and so delicious!
The combination of avocado, sundried tomatoes, cilantro and green onions with balsamic glaze is a tried and true combo that packs a lot of fresh and delicious flavor into a bite!
I make my own flatbread for these, however, don’t feel obligated to do that! Store bought flat bread or a sliced baguette will work just perfectly too!
If you do want to make your own flatbread, it is super easy to do and will add about 20 minutes to this recipe. Here is my flatbread recipe and one recipe batch of flatbread will make enough for this recipe.
I love to use trader joes premade balsamic glaze, however, if you don’t have a premade glaze, it is easy to make. Just add sugar to balsamic vinegar and heat until the sugar is dissolved, then use and enjoy. The amounts of sugar to vinegar are below in the recipe.
