Begin by toasting the miche bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-5 minutes depending on your toaster or oven settings.
While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice and mash it using a fork until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half.
In a separate small pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the baby spinach leaves and sauté for about 2 minutes until they are wilted. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and set aside.
Once the toast is ready, spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado mixture onto each slice of miche.
Top the avocado spread with sautéed spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the prepared toasts and sprinkle the crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
Finish by scattering pumpkin seeds for added crunch and garnish.
Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
