Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 200 grams Fresh crab meat
- 1 medium Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 8 Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to toast the bread slices.
Slice the whole grain bread into even pieces and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until the edges are golden and crispy.
While the bread is toasting, prepare the crab mixture. In a medium bowl, combine fresh crab meat, a tablespoon of lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid breaking the crab meat too much.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the remaining lemon juice and mash together until smooth.
Finely chop the fresh dill and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set aside for garnish.
Once the bread is done toasting, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
To assemble the crab toast, spread a layer of mashed avocado on each slice of toasted bread.
Top the avocado layer with an even distribution of the seasoned crab meat.
Drizzle a small amount of extra virgin olive oil over each toast to enhance flavor and add a healthy fat component.
Garnish the crab toast with chopped dill and cherry tomato halves for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy the heart-healthy benefits!
