Cook’s Notes
What Is Harissa Seasoning?
Harissa seasoning is a flavorful blend of spices commonly used in North African cuisine, particularly in Tunisian, Moroccan, and Algerian dishes.
It typically includes ingredients like chili peppers, garlic, coriander, caraway, and other spices.
Harissa can vary widely in heat and flavor depending on the specific blend, but it generally adds a rich, smoky, and slightly spicy kick to dishes.
It can be used in a variety of ways, such as a seasoning for meats, a base for soups and stews, or mixed into sauces and dressings for an extra boost of flavor.
If you’re looking to elevate your recipes, incorporating harissa is a fantastic choice.

Recipe Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, granulated garlic, and Harissa seasoning (if using). Brush this mixture on one side of each slice of bread.
Place the oiled bread slices into a large iron skillet and broil under high heat until they are lightly toasted, about 2-3 minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!
In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, sweet pickled relish, chopped celery, and chopped onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring everything is well combined.
Once the bread is toasted, spoon 2-3 heaping tablespoons of the chicken salad onto each slice.
Place and arrange bruschetta slices with toppings into a large cast iron skillet.
Top each one with a slice of cheddar cheese.
Return the skillet to the broiler and heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 2-4 minutes.
Plate your Cheesy Chicken Salad Toasts and serve them warm. They pair wonderfully with a side of fresh salad or slaw!
