Ingredients

4 servings

8 pieces French baguette (or Italian baguette, sliced 1/2-inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 avocado (sliced thinly)
9 ounces vine ripened cherry tomatoes (halved)
3.5 ounces fresh bocconcini in water (or baby mozzarella balls)
1/2 cup basil leaves (divided)
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

Steps

Preheat oven to 375°F | 190°C.
Arrange bread on a baking sheet, drizzle both sides with olive oil and bake for 15 - 20 minutes until golden, flipping toasts midway through to crisp all over. Rub the crostini with the cut side of the garlic while still warm and season with a little salt and pepper.
Divide 1/4 cup of the basil leaves on each slice of bread (about 2-3 basil leaves per bread), then top each with the avocado slices, tomato halves and mozzarella (bocconcini). Season with salt and/or pepper to taste. 
Broil (or grill) for 3-5 minutes, or until cheese has started to melt through.
Finely chop remaining basil leaves and sprinkle over the crostini. Drizzle with balsamic glaze to serve.
