Tyler Florence's Ingenious Hack Will Change the Way You Serve Appetizers

Tyler Florence has a toast recipe that just might become your replacement for avocado toast — he calls it Green Goddess Toast. It's a new recipe from the Spring edition of Family, Food, and Friends, a four-part cookbook series that Tyler Florence released with Chatbooks. The chef shared a video of the vibrant toast on Instagram, revealing that it's made with a puree of peas, asparagus, and whole-milk ricotta cheese. The puree is a creative take on green goddess dip, which is often made with green herbs and yogurt or mayonnaise. Before spreading the green puree on the toast, Tyler slices a large baguette open and rubs each half with a garlic clove. Once sliced, he spoons the creamy mixture on the bread and finishes the toast with grated ricotta salata cheese, plenty of fresh chives, and miner's lettuce.

We love the idea of saving time by keeping the entire baguette intact instead of cutting it up into individual pieces before making the toast. This method is much faster, looks prettier, and allows guests to cut the piece of their desired size. Once again, Tyler Florence proves he's the master of cooking hacks. Who else could convince us that peas could be this sexy?
