Chevre And Avocado Crostini
- 1 baguette of French bread, sliced thin
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided use)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 8 oz. chevre (goat cheese)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon salt
- freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, minced
- Brush the bread slices lightly with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and arrange on a baking sheet, oil side up. Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp. Remove from oven and cool on a rack. Pit and peel the avocado. Place in a bowl and mash until fairly smooth. Add softened goat cheese, 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and thyme. Use a fork to blend all ingredients; they will be a little bit chunky this way. Spread the mixture on the crisp bread rounds and serve.
- If using as an appetizer, top with a small sprig of cilantro, or a little violet.
