Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: For the best flavor and texture, make sure your avocados are ripe. They should be slightly soft when you press them gently.
  • Use fresh crab meat: Fresh crab meat will give your crostini the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use canned crab meat, but be sure to rinse it well before using.
  • Make sure the bread is crispy: Toasting the bread before topping it with the crab and avocado mixture will help it stay crispy and prevent it from getting soggy.
  • Use a variety of toppings: In addition to crab and avocado, you can top your crostini with a variety of other ingredients, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, or capers.
  • Serve immediately: Crab and avocado crostini are best served immediately after they are made. The avocado will start to brown if it sits for too long.
