Ingredients
- 8 pieces french baguette or Italian baguette, sliced ½-inch thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 avocado sliced thinly
- 9 ounces vine ripened cherry tomatoes halved
- 3.5 ounces fresh bocconcini in water or baby mozzarella balls
- ½ cup basil leaves divided
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F | 190°C.
- Arrange bread on a baking sheet, drizzle both sides with olive oil and bake for 15 - 20 minutes until golden, flipping toasts midway through to crisp all over. Rub the crostini with the cut side of the garlic while still warm and season with a little salt and pepper.
- Divide ¼ cup of the basil leaves on each slice of bread (about 2-3 basil leaves per bread), then top each with the avocado slices, tomato halves and mozzarella (bocconcini). Season with salt and/or pepper to taste.
- Broil (or grill) for 3-5 minutes, or until cheese has started to melt through.
- Finely chop remaining basil leaves and sprinkle over the crostini. Drizzle with balsamic glaze to serve.

Notes
- To make these Avocado Caprese Crostini into Avocado Caprese Bruschetta, use a large sourdough loaf and cut your slices into 1 ½-inch wide slices. Then double or triple the rest of your ingredients to ensure your topping fully covers each slice!
