Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

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.
