CROSTINI WITH AVOCADO & HOT PEPPER JELLY

CROSTINI WITH AVOCADO & HELL FIRE HOT PEPPER JELLY

YOU WILL NEED:

  • 1 FRENCH BAGUETTE
  • FRESH GARLIC
  • OLIVE OIL FOR BRUSHING & DRIZZLING (REGULAR OR GARLIC FLAVORED)
  • 3-5 RIPE AVOCADOS
  • HELL FIRE HOT PEPPER JELLY
  • SEA SALT (BLACK SEA SALT IS FUN FOR ADDED COLOR, BUT ANY SEA SALT WILL DO)
  • FRESH CILANTRO FOR GARNISH
  • MANCHEGO OR PECORINO (OPTIONAL)

WHAT TO DO:

  • PREHEAT OVEN TO 375 DEGREES.
  • SLICE BAGUETTE THINLY, BISCOTTI-STYLE. RUB FRESH GARLIC ON TOP OF EACH SLICE, THEN BRUSH WITH OLIVE OIL.
  • ARRANGE PREPARED BREAD SLICES ON A COOKIE/BAKING SHEET & TOAST IN THE OVEN (MIDDLE TO UPPER RACK) FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, OR UNTIL LIGHTLY BROWNED.
  • REMOVE FROM THE OVEN AND PLACE ON A PLATTER FOR ASSEMBLING: PLACE THICK SLABS OF AVOCADO ATOP EACH BREAD SLICE. SPOON HOT PEPPER JELLY (GINGERLY!) OVER THE AVOCADO, & DRIZZLE WITH MORE OLIVE OIL.
  • SHAKE SEA SALT OVER LAYERED CROSTINI & TOP WITH A SPRIG OF FRESH CILANTRO.
