1 baguette, sliced into approx ¼ inch slices
4 tbsp olive oil
4 bacon rashers cut into fine strips

3 tbsp cranberry sauce

For the guacamole
1 ripe avocado, peeled, stone removed

Instruction Steps
  1. First make the crostini. Preheat your oven to 180c fan/200c/gas 6. Place the sliced baguette into a bowl and stir through the olive oil. Lay the bread onto a baking tray and cook for 6-8 minutes until just crisp and golden. Remove from the oven and leave the crostini on the tray to cool.
  2. Now cook the bacon pieces. Add a little olive oil to a heavy based frying pan and heat over a high heat. Fry the bacon until crisp and then drain on kitchen paper.
  3. Now make the guacamole. Roughly chop the avocado and place in to a bowl.
  4. Add the lemon juice and salt and pepper. Mash with a fork and then add the chopped chilli and garlic. Mix through the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Top each crostini with some sliced turkey, chopped bacon, guacamole and a little cranberry sauce.
  6. Serve warm or cold
