SIMPLE TOMATO & AVOCADO CROSTINI

Simple Tomato & Avocado Crostini image

This is a very simple and light tomato/avocado crostini. I like to think of it as a cross between a bruschetta and a salsa topped toast.

Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup plum tomato, seeded and diced
1/2 cup avocado, pitted and diced
2 tablespoons cilantro, fresh chopped
1/2 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove
salt
pepper
1 baguette, sliced and toasted

Steps:

Rub garlic clove on each slice of hot baguette. This will add a perfect light garlic essence without being "in your face" or oily. This technique is actually one of my favorites to use with crostinis or toasted sandwiches.
Mix together tomato, avocado, cilantro, lime juice, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Scoop spoonfuls of the tomato/avocado mixture onto the garlic rubbed crostinis.
Serve and enjoy!

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 vine-ripened tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
8 diagonally sliced pieces baguette
1 clove garlic, halved
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 thin slices
1 large avocado - halved, pitted, and thinly sliced
½ small lemon
¼ cup roughly chopped fresh dill
1 pinch flaked salt

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange tomato slices on the baking sheet and top with about 3 tablespoons olive oil, sea salt, and pepper.
Roast in the preheated oven until tomatoes are wilted, wrinkly, and scorched in some places, 25 to 30 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place bread slices in the skillet and cook until crisp and golden in parts, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Remove bread from skillet and rub garlic onto each slice; sprinkle sea salt over bread.
Layer mozzarella cheese on the toasted bread and top with avocado slices. Sprinkle sea salt over avocado and squeeze lemon over it. Top with roasted tomatoes and dill. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over crostini and sprinkle with flaked salt.
