Ingredients

• 1 whole Ripe avocado
• 2 slices Whole grain bread
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by toasting the slices of whole grain bread. You can use a toaster, oven, or skillet. Toast them until they are golden brown and crispy to your liking, which should take about 3-5 minutes.

Step 2

While the bread toasts, prepare the avocado. Cut the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Carefully scoop the avocado flesh into a small mixing bowl using a spoon.

Step 3

Use a fork to mash the avocado until it reaches your desired level of smoothness or chunkiness.

Step 4

Add the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix everything until it's well combined and the seasoning is evenly distributed.

Step 5

Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the toaster or oven and place the slices on a plate.

Step 6

Divide the avocado mixture evenly between the two slices of toast. Spread it out to cover the surface of each slice completely.

Step 7

Sprinkle the red chili flakes over the avocado toast for a bit of spiciness.

Step 8

If using, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for an added burst of freshness and flavor.

Step 9

Serve the avocado toast immediately while still warm and enjoy your delicious, simple meal.
