Avocado Toast
- 1 baguette
- Smoked sea salt
- Gochugaru flakes
- Garlic infused olive oil
- 1 lime
- Cracked pepper
- 1 avocado
How to make Avocado Toast-
Cut your baquette diagonally to create thin longer pieces.
To make the crostini, preheat the oven to 375° F. Brush the bread slices with the extra virgin olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet. Bake them until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let them cool to room temperature.
Cut the avocado in half all the way around. Hold with both hands and give it a quarter turn. This will give you two halves of the avocado. Use a large spoon to scoop out one half of the avocado. Then cut it in thin slices. Place 3 to 4 slices directly on the baguette. Now sprinkle the gochugaru flakes over the avocado slices. Also sprinkle the smoked sea salt. Add some garlic infused olive oil, pepper and a squeeze of lemon.
