Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 200 grams Fresh crab meat
- 1 medium Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 8 Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to toast the bread slices.
Step 2
Slice the whole grain bread into even pieces and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until the edges are golden and crispy.
Step 3
While the bread is toasting, prepare the crab mixture. In a medium bowl, combine fresh crab meat, a tablespoon of lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid breaking the crab meat too much.
Step 4
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the remaining lemon juice and mash together until smooth.
Step 5
Finely chop the fresh dill and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set aside for garnish.
Step 6
Once the bread is done toasting, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
Step 7
To assemble the crab toast, spread a layer of mashed avocado on each slice of toasted bread.
Step 8
Top the avocado layer with an even distribution of the seasoned crab meat.
Step 9
Drizzle a small amount of extra virgin olive oil over each toast to enhance flavor and add a healthy fat component.
Step 10
Garnish the crab toast with chopped dill and cherry tomato halves for a burst of color and freshness.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy the heart-healthy benefits!
