A delightful twist on the classic bruschetta, featuring creamy avocado and vibrant toppings.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and saves time later.
In a mini chopper, finely chop the sweet onion and garlic cloves.
Chopping finely helps distribute the flavors evenly.
Mash the avocados in a bowl using a fork, then mix in the chopped onion, garlic, and lime juice.
Mash to your preferred consistency for a chunkier or smoother texture.
Brush the baguette slices with olive oil on both sides and place them on a baking sheet.
Use a pastry brush for even oil distribution.
Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 5 minutes on each side until golden.
Keep an eye on the bread to prevent over-toasting.
Spread the avocado mixture onto the toasted baguette slices.
Spread generously for a flavorful bite.
Top each slice with diced tomatoes and a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese.
Arrange toppings neatly for an appealing presentation.
Place the topped slices back in the oven for 5 minutes to warm through.
Warming enhances the flavors and melts the cheese slightly.
Serve the crostini warm and enjoy!
Garnish with a sprig of fresh basil for a touch of color.
