Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/ gas 6 and put a baking sheet inside to heat up. Using a 3cm cookie cutter, stamp out 18 circles from the bread. Flatten slightly, brush with oil, then toast in the oven for about 5 minutes or until golden and crisp.
- Stone and peel the avocado, then mash with the zest and juice of 1⁄2 lemon, the crab, chilli, mayo and coriander. Season to taste, then add more lemon juice if it’s too rich.
- Prepare the mini toasts up to 48 hours in advance, then keep them in an airtight container. Make the crab mix and keep covered in the fridge 1-2 hours beforehand but no more. Bring to room temperature to serve. Top the toasts with the crab mixture and a sprig of coriander.
