I love the look of these crostini!  The bright colors provide great contrast and they look so cute all lined up together.  I am a big believer in making food look appealing, not that it needs to look extra fancy.  These crostini have been a huge hit at parties, even as a healthier and fresher option on game day!

My mom is a BLT lover and the inspiration behind these crostini.  Mashed avocado is the base for bacon, lettuce, and tomato.  She also loves balsamic glaze which is the perfect addition of a little acidity.  It is so easy and simple to make these crostini, so they are perfect for entertaining and game day, like the Super Bowl!  To make the crostini, mash the avocado with some salt and pepper, then layer with lettuce, tomato, and bacon.  Finish it all off with balsamic glaze (one of my favorite things!) and I also like to use some seasoned Basil Balsamic Flavored Salt.
