Avocado Crostini with Goat’s Cheese and Prawns

Avocado Crostini with Goat’s Cheese and Prawns
This recipe combines the rich, velvety texture of avocado with the savoury goodness of goat's cheese and perfectly seared prawns, creating a delectable starter or easy lunch. 

Crostini are simple to make and extremely versatile to use. Meaning “toasts” in Italian, they are the perfect base for flavoursome toppings. We used sourdough but you could use a baguette and turn the Avocado Crostini with Goat’s Cheese and Prawns into nibbles at your next gathering.
