Avocado toasts

Perfect for a nice lunch when you don’t feel like anything too heavy but want to enjoy the meal.

The flavours remind me of spring and summer holidays in Europe. Have with a crisp glass of wine on a sunny day and the world will be great again.

Serves 1

Ingredients:
5 mini mozarella balls, sliced in half
A healthy handful of santini tomatoes (about 15), sliced in half
1/2 avocado, sliced thinly
1tsp vinegar/balsamic/other acid
Half a baguette, cut on an angle into slices

Kitchen stuff:
Frying pan
Baking tray

Method:
Put a pan on a medium heat, add a drizzle of oil and the tomatoes. Season with a touch of salt and pepper, after about 5 minutes when they have cooked down a bit and softened add a dash of vinegar and stir. This will give them a nice bright flavour. Cook for a further minute or two and then remove from the heat.

Lay your slices of baguette onto a tray and drizzle with olive oil, turn over and drizzle the other side. Then put under a grill for a few minutes until golden.

Take them out and turn them over and toast for another couple of minutes till just starting to brown. This side should be lighter than the bottom side.

Now remove from the grill and tear on the mozzarella and add a few tomato slices to each one. Put it back under the heat for the mozzarella to start bubbling and the toppings to start browning a bit.

When you’re happy with them, remove from the heat and add sliced avocado on top. Drizzle with another dash of oil and a light sprinkle of salt. 

Serve up and enjoy!
