BACON. AVOCADO. TOMATO. This is not your average avocado toast… Another perfect appetizer for a barbecue, you can toast the baguette while the grill is still hot! The avocado is similar to a guacamole that you can save any extra for some nachos. With the pop of lemon and basil, this is a fresh treat for the summer.
