Baking Tips

Prepare the toasted bread rounds up to a day ahead and store in an airtight container.

To prevent the avocado spread from browning, prepare it just before assembling and serving.

For a spicier version, add finely diced jalapeño to the avocado mixture.

Make it vegetarian by substituting the bacon with roasted chickpeas or toasted nuts for crunch.

For best flavor, make sure the avocados are perfectly ripe - they should yield slightly to gentle pressure.

If preparing for a crowd, set up an assembly station with the bases and toppings so guests can customize their own bites.

Ingredients

Custard Cream

For the bread base:

1 French baguette or sourdough loaf, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

For the avocado spread:

3 ripe avocados

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

For the topping:

10 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled

1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced small

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

For garnish:

2 tablespoons finely sliced green onions

1 tablespoon lime zest

Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the bread slices on a large baking sheet. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Bake for 5-7 minutes, flip, and bake for another 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove from oven and let cool.

While the bread is baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then crumble into small pieces when cool.

In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture. Add lime juice immediately to prevent browning.

Mix in the chopped red onion, minced garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until well combined but still chunky.

Spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture onto each toasted bread round.

Top each with a sprinkle of crumbled bacon and diced cherry tomatoes.

Garnish with fresh cilantro, sliced green onions, and a small pinch of lime zest.

Just before serving, drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately.
