Tomato and Avocado Crostini

This were simple and good. From Famed Cooks.


Tomato and Avocado Crostini, adapted from Everyday Food

  • One small baguette, sliced diagonally into 1/2 inch slices
  • Olive oil
  • One ripe avocado
  • One tablespoon lemon juice
  • Coarse salt and pepper
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, chopped

1. Preheat oven to 350. Brush the bread slices with some olive oil, arrange in a single layer on a cookie sheet and bake until golden, about 8 minutes. Don't worry if the center isn't browned - as long as the edges are golden you are in good shape!
2. Peel and pit the avocado and mash with a fork with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. When the crostini are cool enough to handle, spread with avocado and top with tomatoes and whatever other garnish catches your fancy!
