I’m posting this recipe a little late in the game. I first sampled these crisp crostini treats at book club some six months ago. Since then, I discovered they’re a popular feature on the menu at Cork, one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants. I’ve been meaning to write about them for ages. They are simply heaven- buttery, crispy and easy to make.
Ingredients:
1 baguette, sliced
2 avocados, sliced
1/2 cup pistachios, shelled and coarsely chopped
extra virgin olive oil (or pistachio oil)
salt and pepper
Directions: Brush each slice of bread with olive oil. Broil until lightly toasted.
Top each crostini with avocado slices. Sprinkle with pistachios and drizzle a bit more oil over top.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
This recipe makes a perfectly easy snack for any sort of gathering. It was a huge hit at book club!

I can imagine that there is some interesting textures going on in this crostini.
You an I must be on a similar wave length. I make one like this but with avocado, roasted bell pepper, and walnuts. Love it and love yours with pistachios!
Those look delicious! I think I’ll make them for my next book club meeting
My guess is they’ll be the biggest hit!
What a great combo! I have some smoked pistachios that would be awesome here.
Your recipes keep leaving me with a pistachio craving! Love this crostini combination.
