Holiday Avocado Toast

 

Holiday Avocado Toast

Cook's Notes: A festive healthy holiday appetizer or a breakfast item. I had mine for dinner. Either way, they are quite tasty and take only 5 minutes to prepare. The recipe comes from foodnetwork.com

If making an appetizer use smaller size toasted bread slices. 

Holiday Avocado Toast
Ingredients:

• Baguette bread sliced diagonally or a loaf pre-sliced

• Avocados
• Lemon
• Salt
• Arils (pomegranate seeds)
• Pistachios (salted and roasted)

Directions:

• Toast bread in the oven or use a toaster. The slices should be crisp. Lightly brush with olive oil.
• In a medium-sized bowl mash avocado. Add a couple of good lemon squeezes with fine sea salt or kosher salt to enhance the flavor.
• Spread avocado mash on toast. Sprinkle with arials and pistachio nuts. 
• Serve immediately.

Another festive idea

Several years ago my nephew's wife bought this tray for our family gathering. The tray was a real hit filled with classic P&J sandwiches cut out using a Christmas cookie cutter. The stars were made out of yellow paper glued onto a toothpick stuck into the top of the tree. Off to the side in small cups are dip and veggies. So creative!
