Time 30m

Yield 35-40 crostini

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 French baguette
1/3 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
2 ripe avocados
4 ounces mild goat cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups roma tomatoes, seeded, diced 1/4-inch
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
basil leaves, for garnish

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.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I had a hard time finding ripe avocados. I think that's why my crostini didn't turn out as well as I hoped.

These crostini were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less goat cheese next time.
