Peas are a great seasonal favorite to enjoy during spring. Their bright green color is so light and refreshing, and when paired with parmesan and tomatoes, they make the perfect appetizer for a dairy meal. If you prefer to use fresh peas, make sure to shock them in ice water after cooking, to maintain their bright color.

Start Cooking
For the Pea Puree
-
Place all the puree ingredients except for the olive oil in a food processor with the S-blade.
-
Pour the olive oil through the feeding tube while the machine is running. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning as necessary.
For the Crostini
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
-
Slice the baguettes on the diagonal into ¼-inch-thick (.6-cm) slices. You should get around 24 slices, depending on the size of your baguettes.
-
Brush the slices with olive oil on both sides and bake until crisp and lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Cool completely.
-
Spread the pea puree on the crostini and garnish with fresh basil, a slice of tomato, and shredded parmesan.
Note:
Store leftover puree in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Variation:
Feel free to use avocado instead of peas on top of the crostini.
