Make your next party unforgettable with these Crab and Avocado Crostinis. A quick and flavorful appetizer that everyone will love.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf ficelle or thin French baguette
- 3 tablespoons olive oil plus 1/4 cup
- 1 Meyer lemon juiced
- Salt and fresh ground black pepper
- 1 yellow pepper seeds removed and diced
- 1 avocado halved, pitted and flesh diced
- 1 shallot finely diced
- 8 ounces lump crabmeat
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Slice the bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. Lightly brush the bread slices with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Arrange the bread on a baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool before topping with the crab mixture.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, 1/4 cup of olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Add the yellow pepper, avocado, shallot, and crabmeat to the lemon vinaigrette. Toss gently to avoid breaking up the crabmeat.
- Top each bread slice with about a tablespoon of the crab mixture and arrange on a serving platter.
