Ingredients

• 1 whole ripe avocados
• 2 slices bread slices
• 0.5 whole lime
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.125 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 0 as desired optional toppings: red pepper flakes, cherry tomatoes, radishes, or microgreens

Directions

Step 1

Start by slicing your bread into two pieces if not already sliced. Preferably, use a hearty, whole-grain or sourdough bread for added flavor and texture.

Step 2

Preheat your toaster or set a skillet on medium-high heat if you prefer to toast your bread on a stove. Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes per side if using a skillet.

Step 3

While the bread is toasting, prepare your avocado. Using a knife, carefully cut the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit.

Step 4

Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl using a spoon. Discard the skin and pit.

Step 5

Add the juice of half a lime, salt, and black pepper to the avocado. Use a fork to mash everything together until you reach your desired consistency; either smooth or chunky.

Step 6

Once the bread is toasted, drizzle a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil over the warm slices to enhance the flavor.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the avocado mixture onto the toasted bread slices, spreading it generously with a spoon or fork.

Step 8

Top with optional toppings such as a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat, sliced cherry tomatoes for sweetness, thinly sliced radishes for crunch, or vibrant microgreens for freshness.

Step 9

Serve immediately while the toast is still warm.
