I found this recipe and it looked so easy and delicious, I had to try it. My husband is not an avocado fan, so I don't make them often, but we are having some weekend guests and I plan to make these before our big lobster and clam FEAST!!
6 oz lump crabmeat (cleaned and checked)
2 avocados
8 slices of thin good white, wheat or grain bread
5 tbl extra vigin olive oil
1 tbl chopped fresh mint
2 tsp fresh lime juice
salt
cayenne pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Cut crust off of bread and cut each slice into four squares and place on the baking sheet. Lightly brush top of bread with olive oil. Toast in the oven for about 15 minutes until lightly golden and crispy.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, mash avocados with salt and cayenne to taste - just a pinch or two. In another bowl stir crabmeat with mint and lime juice and a bit of salt.
Spread the mashed avocado mixture on top of each piece of toast and top with crab mixture and serve.
So sophisticated and could these be EASIER?????
ENJOY!
