Tomato Avocado Mozzarella Crostini
Ingredients
  • 2 vine-ripened tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 diagonally sliced pieces baguette
  • 1 clove garlic, halved
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 thin slices
  • 1 large avocado - halved, pitted, and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 small lemon
  • 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh dill
  • 1 pinch flaked salt
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the highest temperature setting, 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). To prevent sticking, cover a baking sheet with a layer of parchment paper.
2
Place tomato slices on the prepared baking sheet and generously apply about 3 tablespoons of olive oil, a pinch of sea salt, and a few grinds of pepper on top.
3
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast until the tomatoes are tender, slightly shriveled, and develop a few charred spots, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool down.
4
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Place slices of bread in the skillet and cook until crispy and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
5
Remove the bread from the skillet and brush garlic onto each slice; sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the bread.
6
Place slices of mozzarella cheese on top of the toasted bread, followed by avocado slices. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the avocado and squeeze some lemon juice over it. Add roasted tomatoes and a sprinkle of dill on top.
7
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the crostini and sprinkle with a pinch of flaked salt.
