Ingredients

  • 2 vine-ripened tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 diagonally sliced pieces baguette

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2
Arrange tomato slices on the baking sheet and top with about 3 tablespoons olive oil, sea salt, and pepper.

Step 5
Remove bread from skillet and rub garlic onto each slice; sprinkle sea salt over bread.

Step 6
Layer mozzarella cheese on the toasted bread and top with avocado slices. Sprinkle sea salt over avocado and squeeze lemon over it. Top with roasted tomatoes and dill. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over crostini and sprinkle with flaked salt.
