Roasted Tomato Guacamole Toasts



I really need to take the time to take better pictures so everyone can ultimately see the deliciousness happening in this house. But you try it. Make something awesome and then try to convince yourself to take the time to photograph it, all the while you smell it and drool because you can look but you can't touch! See.... this is why my iPhone is constantly responsible for the pics instead of my big heavy duty digital camera. There is no time people!!

This little beauty here is a go to in our house especially if we are getting worried about our avocados going bad on us. I kind of just made it up on the fly so there is no official recipe for this one - I know I'm sorry.

Roasted Tomato Guac Toasts

Ingredients:
Avacado
Red Onion
Cilantro
Lime
Cherry Tomatoes
Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Salt
Pepper
Artisan Bread
(also delicious with Garlic Hummus)

Directions:
Make Guacamole without the tomato. I have no recipe for this I just chop, smash, and mix. So I would recommend a Google if you are unsure about how to make quacamole. You can also skip the guac and just smash up an avocado in place of guac (we've done that too, I would recommend using hummus though if you omit the other ingredients normally in guac). 
Wash and cut your cherry tomatoes in half. Place in a bowl. Add ohhh maybe Tbl. of olive oil, and a splash of Balsamic Vinegar, (I love Balsamic, but it's intense don't go to crazy). Add some salt and pepper, toss ingredients, till tomatoes are nice and coated. Place them in a pan and add them to your nicely preheated 400 degree oven. It'll probably take them oooh 20 minutes to cook. Give 'em a stir half way. Watch for shriveling and browning - you know look for a roasted tomato to know it they are done. They should be very soft. 
Toast your bread.
Layer: Toast + hummus if using + guac/avocado mash + roasted tomatoes = HEAVEN!

Logan and I both LOVE this. It's very easy and lick the bowl/plate good. Usually while standing in the kitchen eating this (because we can't make it to the kitchen table we get so excited) all you will here is "Yeah" "Mmhmm" "Ya Buddy" "Ohhhh" What can I say we love the stuff.

Would I Make it Again: Try and stop me!
