I made this quick and tasty appetizer for our neighbors a few weeks ago and it was a hit. I mean all of it was gone and the bowl pretty much licked clean. You know you've hit it out of the park when that happens. This recipe is perfect because it's only a handful of ingredients and it doesn't take much time to make. Also, it's fairly light and healthy. I'm already craving it again and so are my neighbors. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
For the topping:
- 2 avocados, peeled and diced
- 2/3 cup quartered grape tomatoes
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 - 1/3 cup fresh basil, sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
For the bread:
- 1 baguette cut into 1/2 inch slices
- 1 garlic clove peeled and one end cut off
- Extra virgin olive oil for brushing
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Lightly brush the baguette slices with olive oil on both sides and place on a cookie sheet. Bake 3-4 minutes a side when the oven is ready.
- In medium mixing bowl place all the ingredients for the topping and gently stir.
- When the baguettes are finished toasting rub the garlic on top of one side of the baguette slice.
- Top each baguette slice with a small spoon full of the avacodo topping and enjoy.
