Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Lump crabmeat
- 2 Avocado
- 1 Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 6 Cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 12 thin rounds, about 1/2 inch thick.
Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp. Remove and let cool.
In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork until smooth. Squeeze the juice of one lime into the avocado and mix to combine.
Season the avocado mixture with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
Carefully pick through the lump crabmeat to remove any bits of shell. Place the crabmeat in a small bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters.
To assemble, spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
Top each crostini with a small mound of lump crabmeat.
Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and a quartered cherry tomato on each crostini.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Lump Crabmeat and Avocado Crostini!
