Ingredients

  • 1 baguette
  • 4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil divided, 60 mL
  • 2 cups quartered cherry tomatoes about 350 g
  • 4 cloves garlic divided
  • 2 avocados
  • 2 Tbsp fresh basil finely chopped
  • ¼ tsp each salt and pepper
  • To serve: basil, balsamic reduction flaky salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Toast: Preheat oven to broil. Slice baguette diagonally into ¼ inch slices and arrange on a baking sheet. Brush tops with 2 Tbsp of oil. Place in the middle of the oven and broil for 5 minutes, or until tops are golden brown (watch closely, they can burn quickly).
  2. Tomatoes: Meanwhile, combine chopped tomatoes with remaining 2 Tbsp of oil and 2 of the cloves of minced garlic.
  3. Avocado: Scoop the flesh of each avocado into a bowl and mash with a fork. Stir in remaining 2 cloves of minced garlic, basil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Assemble: Spoon avocado mixture onto each toasted baguette piece, mashing with a fork to create an even layer. Top with tomato mixture. Optionally top with more fresh basil, a drizzle of balsamic reduction, and/or flaky sea salt.

Notes

  • If making ahead, store all components separately until ready to assemble. It can be made 1 to 2 days ahead. You might want to add a bit of lemon juice to the avocado mixture to prevent browning too.
