Instructions

Toast the Baguette: Toast the baguette slices in a toaster oven or a regular oven until they are warm and golden brown, about 4 minutes. This creates a crisp base that holds the toppings well.
Mash the Avocado: In a small bowl, combine the avocado and lime juice. Use a fork to mash the avocado until it reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency, which adds creaminess and a zesty flavor.
Spread the Avocado: Spread a layer of the mashed avocado evenly across each toasted baguette slice to serve as the flavorful foundation for the toppings.
Add Kimchi: Place a piece or two of cabbage kimchi on top of the avocado spread on each crostini, introducing a spicy and tangy kick.
Top with Fresh Vegetables and Seeds: Add a few slices of cherry tomato and green onion to each toast for freshness and crunch. Finish by sprinkling sesame seeds over the top for an extra nutty flavor and visual appeal.
Serve Immediately: Serve the Kimchi Avocado Toast right away to enjoy the contrast of warm toast and fresh toppings at their best.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados for easy mashing and best flavor.
Adjust the amount of kimchi based on your spice preference.
For extra flavor, drizzle a little sesame oil over the top before serving.
This toast is best eaten immediately to maintain the crisp texture of the bread.
Can be served as a snack, appetizer, or light meal.
