I love this ingredient in so many different dishes, it was honestly kind of tricky to narrow down my options. But after consulting The Flavor Bible, a few ingredients immediately jumped out and reminded me of my favorite sandwich - a BLTA.
To bring this down to a one bite standard I figured why not make a miniature crostini version? So easy, fun and satisfies that bacon-lettuce-tomato-avocado craving in no time. For the preparation, you'll just need the following:
Sourdough Baguette - sliced thin - toasted - rubbed with raw garlic clove
Avocado - mashed - seasoned w/ kosher salt
Bacon - crisped - broken in small pieces (I actually used prosciutto as prepared here) and it worked great
Tomatoes (cherry or roma) - sliced thin - seasoned w/ a touch of s+p
Lettuce - frisée is a great bitter green that tops the crostini well and pairs with avocado (just toss with a bit of lemon juice, s+p). If you don't like frisée, try arugula or a micro green.
Just layer the ingredients as shown above and serve. I love this for a fun brunch or shower - you could serve them along with a few other classics, like an egg salad, chicken salad or a mini club crostini.
enJOY!
(and keep the suggestions coming if you have a one bite craving)!
