2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
½ jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
½ scallion, finely chopped
1 small clove garlic, minced
2 ounces fresh goat cheese
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put baguette rounds directly on oven rack and bake until toasted, but not browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.

Spread 1 to 2 teaspoons avocado mixture on each crostini and top with tomatoes.
