    1. On a large baking sheet place baguette slices in a single layer. Toss cheese with walnuts and seasoning and press equal amounts very firmly onto each baguette slice. Coat liberally with cooking spray.<\/li>\n
    2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. In a skillet carefully place baguette slices with cheese side down and cook for 3 minutes or until cheese is golden brown around the edges. Turn and cook 30 seconds more. (Cook in batches if necessary.)<\/li>\n
    3. Toss tomato slices with oil, lime juice, cilantro and garlic salt. Marinate for 5 minutes.<\/li>\n
    4. In a small bowl mash avocado and drizzle with half the tomato marinade.<\/li>\n
    5. Spread equal amounts of mashed marinated avocado onto bread slices. Top with tomatoes and walnuts. Sprinkle with additional cilantro, if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
