A delightful appetizer featuring crispy crostini topped with creamy avocado and fresh tomato basil mixture.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even toasting of the bread slices.
Slice the baguette into 1/4-inch thick diagonal slices.
Diagonal slices provide a larger surface area for toppings.
Mix the olive oil and minced garlic in a small bowl.
Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to infuse the oil with garlic flavor.
Brush the bread slices with the garlic oil and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Ensure an even coating for consistent toasting.
Bake the bread slices for 10-15 minutes until golden and crisp.
Keep an eye on the bread to prevent over-toasting.
Mash the avocado with goat cheese and salt in a bowl until smooth.
For a creamier texture, use a fork or a potato masher.
Dice the tomatoes and mix with olive oil, black pepper, and chopped basil.
Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.
Spread the avocado mixture on each crostini and top with the tomato mixture.
Assemble just before serving to keep the crostini crisp.
Garnish with basil leaves and serve immediately.
Serve on a platter for an elegant presentation.
