BACON AVOCADO CROSTINI
1/2 Baguette, sliced thin
1-2  Avocado(s), ripe
8-10 Slices of bacon
Salt and fresh ground pepper



Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Line a large baking sheet with tin foil and lay the bacon on the pan. (I always have to squeeze just-one-more-on-the-pan).

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is really crispy.

Watch the bacon closely around the 15 minute mark because it can burn quickly, depending on how thick/thin the slices are. The bacon I use usually takes 20 minutes.

Remove the bacon and dry the bacon on paper towels.

Place the baguette slices on the baking sheet, drizzle with a little olive oil and bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes.  

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and scoop out the flesh. Mash with a fork in a bowl and add salt and pepper to taste. 

Crumble the bacon.

Remove the baguette slices from the oven and put a spoonful of mashed avocado on the baguette and sprinkle with bacon crumbles.
