Ingredients
- 2 slices Miche bread
- 1 whole Avocado
- 8 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Baby spinach leaves
- 2 teaspoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves

Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Once the toast is ready, spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado mixture onto each slice of miche.
Step 6
Top the avocado spread with sautéed spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves.
Step 7
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the prepared toasts and sprinkle the crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
Step 8
Finish by scattering pumpkin seeds for added crunch and garnish.
Step 9
Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
