Avocado Tarts Recipes

AVOCADO TARTS

Steps:

• Cut pastry into rounds using a 6-7cm cutter. Place pastry rounds in patty tins. Prick base of pastry. Bake at 190C for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool.
• place avocado, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic and cayenne into a food processor or blender. Process until smooth.
• Spoon or pipe avovado mixture into cooled pastry cases. Garnish with snipped chives.

AVOCADO-TOMATO BREAKFAST TOT CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Spray a muffin tin liberally with cooking spray. Put 4 or 5 tots into each cup, pressing down firmly to pack them in. Top each with a half slice of Cheddar, then crisscross with another half slice. Bake until crispy, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Whisk the half-and-half and eggs in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Divide the egg mixture among the "tot cups" and top each with another half slice of Cheddar and 1 slice of tomato. Bake until the eggs are firm, another 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then carefully remove from the tin.
• Top with avocado slices, sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper.

AVOCADO TOASTS

Steps:

• Mash the avocado with a fork in a shallow bowl until chunky. Season with fine salt and black pepper.
• Toast the bread until browned and crisp. Lightly rub 1 side of each slice with the cut side of the garlic until fragrant; discard the garlic. Lightly brush the toasts with oil, and season with fine salt and pepper. Divide the mashed avocado evenly among the toasts, and top with more flaky sea salt, more black pepper and red pepper flakes if using.

AVOCADO TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mix avocados, onions, and garlic salt.
• Arrange corn tortillas in a single layer on a large baking sheet, and place in the preheated oven 2 to 5 minutes, until heated through.
• Spread tortillas with the avocado mixture. Garnish with cilantro and sprinkle with jalapeno pepper sauce.

CLASSIC AVOCADO TOAST

Steps:

• Spread toast with olive oil; top with avocado slices. If desired, mash avocado slightly and drizzle with additional oil. Sprinkle with salt.

AVOCADO CHEESE TARTS (LOW CARB)

Steps:

• Combine the avocado, minced garlic, mayonnaise and lemon juice in and blend to desired consistency (chunky or smooth - your choice). Add salt to taste. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Heat a large frying pan or griddle on medium-high heat. Drop tablespoon-fulls of the grated cheese directly on the ungreased frying pan/griddle. Use a spatula to shape the melting cheese into circular shapes. Allow the cheese to bubble and once the oil begins to separate from the cheese and the entire surface is covered in tiny bubbles, use a spatula to transfer the cheese disc to an ungreased mini muffin pan. Press the cheese disc into the shape of each muffin cup. This must be done quickly as the cheese needs to still be hot to shape properly. Allow to cool for 3 or 4 minutes and remove from the muffin tins. The cheese will now be a crispy "tart" shell. This step can be done several hours in advance.
• When ready to serve, spoon a teaspoon of the avocado mixture into each tart shell. Top with any combination of cilantro, tomato, green onion or olives to serve.
