Best 6 Chevre And Avocado Crostini Recipes

CROSTINI WITH SPICED CHEVRE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lay the baguette slices on a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Toast in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, turning them after 7 minutes. They are done when they are golden and crispy.
• Put the cardamom, coriander, fennel seeds, paprika and salt on a plate or shallow dish and stir to combine. Roll the log of chevre in the spice mixture, making sure it is well coated. Slice the log thinly using a sharp knife or dental floss. Place a round of the coated chevre on each slice of baguette toast, and then put them back in the oven for about 2 minutes, until the cheese is warmed through.

CHEVRE AND AVOCADO CROSTINI

Steps:

• Brush the bread slices lightly with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and arrange on a baking sheet, oil side up. Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp. Remove from oven and cool on a rack. Pit and peel the avocado. Place in a bowl and mash until fairly smooth. Add softened goat cheese, 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and thyme. Use a fork to blend all ingredients; they will be a little bit chunky this way. Spread the mixture on the crisp bread rounds and serve. If using as an appetizer, top with a small sprig of cilantro, or a little violet.

TOMATO AND AVOCADO-GOAT CHEESE CROSTINI

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Slice the bread into 1/4" thick diagonal slices. In a little bowl, combine garlic and olive oil. Brush bread slices lightly with garlic oil. Arrange on baking sheets in single layers. Bake crostini for 10-15 minutes, till golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven and let cool. These can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container. Be sure to let cool completely before storing.
• In a bowl combine avocado, goat cheese and salt. Mix until smooth. (To make in advance, save avocado pit and bury in mixture to prevent browning.).
• In a separate bowl, combine tomato, extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper and basil.
• To serve, spread each crostini with about 1 tablespoon of avocado mixture, then top with tomato-basil mixture. Garnish with small basil leaves if desired.

• Garnish crostini with tomatoes and radishes. Add a few drops of olive oil; sprinkle sea salt and chives on top.
