Avocado with Heirloom Tomatoes on a Parmesan Crust
Happy NATIONAL AVOCADO DAY!
Today I am sharing a wonderful recipe from one of my Guy Demarle Colleagues based in France Elodie (@cantacake). I choose to make an Avocado with Tomatoes Salad on the top of a delicious Parmesan Crust. So I could use the homemade Balsamic Glaze I prepared along with it. Also, you will find Elodie’s recipe right HERE!
Of course, I used my Favorite Balsamic Vinegar because it is Barrel Aged and of Premium Quality. Whenever you prepare a homemade balsamic glaze, you need to ensure you always use the best ingredients to have an elevated final product.
Enjoy & Bon Appetit!
As always, you will find the Step-by-Step Video below the recipe.

Are there other types of pans I can use besides the flexi type?
Hello Valarie! Please accept my apologies for getting back to you only now I was traveling and my internet was not working properly. Of course you can use any other pan you may have. You will need to grease them really well. Something I never worry with my Flexipan. I would love to introduce you to our products, you can see them in action daily on my Instagram, Facebook and YouTube Channel under @bakingwithnessa I look forward to connect with you ~Nessa
