Ingredients
 

  • 1 french baguette sliced into roughly 20 rounds, (1/2 inch thick each)
  • 1 1/2 avocados
  • 1 cup basil, (1/2 leaf per round)
  • 8 ounces fresh mozarella , (cut into roughly 1 1/2 inch slices)
  • 3/4 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2-3 teaspoons olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Slice the baguette into rounds, about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Drizzle olive oil on the lined baking sheet and place the sliced baguette rounds on top. Drizzle olive oil on top of the rounds as well and then sprinkle with sea salt. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Once the rounds have baked, use a fork to mash some avocado on top of each crostini. Sprinkle sea salt on top of the avocado.
  • Next, layer each crostini with a basil leaf (you may need to tear the leaf in half for it to fit on the crostini), followed by a mozzarella slice, and then 2 halved cherry tomatoes.
  • Drizzle a little olive oil over all of the crostini, followed by a balsamic glaze. Sprinkle a little shredded basil on top if desired and serve.
