Ingredients in this Avocado Toast Christmas Tree
Here’s what you will need to make this brunch treat:
- a half whole wheat baguette, I used a whole grain baguette as I like it’s slightly nuttier flavor and added nutritional benefits and fiber. It’s cut into 1/2 inch slices, drizzled with olive oil and a dash of sea salt, and toasted to golden brown perfection. It works as the base of our tree!
- avocado, combined with fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire, and garlic salt to create a vibrant and flavorful spread. It’s also green which helps create our Christmas tree effect.
- fresh basil, the leaves mimic the leaves of a tree, so enhances the Christmas tree effect. It also adds a pop of freshness to the avo toast.
- goat cheese, the tangy goat cheese pairs beautifully with the bright avocado spread. The crumbles also look like snow!
- pomegranate seeds, adds little bright pops of juicy goodness. They also look like sparkly ornaments that help complete our tree!
- bacon, works as the tree stump. Plus, any good brunch needs bacon!
How to make this Avocado Toast Christmas Tree
This treat looks impressive, but is so simple to make:
- Slice the baguette; into 1/2 inch slices. You will need about 14 slices to create the tree. You can also use one whole baguette to create two trees if you have a bigger crowd and need more crostini’s for your guests.
- Toast the crostini’s; drizzle the slices with olive oil and sea salt. Toast in a 400 degree oven for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Let cool.
- Make the avocado spread; in a medium bowl, combine one large avocado, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic salt (see recipe card below for exact measurements). Combine until smooth and creamy.
- Arrange basil and crostini’s in tree shape; on a large cutting board or serving platter, arrange the basil leaves in a tree shape (a triangle with the main small point on top). Place the crostini’s on top.
- Add avocado spread; spread a generous amount of the avocado spread on each crostini.
- Garnish with goat cheese and pom poms; top each crostini with goat cheese crumbles and pom poms. Garnish each with small whole basil leaves.
- Finish with bacon; Place slice of bacon at the bottom to resemble a tree trunk.
- Enjoy!
