Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece French baguette
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French baguette into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick, yielding approximately 16-20 slices.
Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and brush each slice lightly with olive oil.
Bake the bread slices in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Prepare the green spread by scooping the flesh of the avocado into a food processor.
Add the spinach leaves, parsley, chives, lemon juice, garlic clove, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Taste the spread and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
To assemble the canapes, spread a generous layer of the green spread onto each toasted bread slice.
Arrange the canapes on a serving platter and garnish with additional chopped chives or parsley for presentation, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
