Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices whole grain bread
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 0.25 tsp sea salt
  • 0.125 tsp black pepper
  • 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • fresh herbs for garnish, optional

Equipment

  • Toaster
  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Toast the bread slices in a toaster until golden brown and crispy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  2. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
  3. Add fresh lime juice to the avocado immediately to prevent browning.
  4. Using a fork, mash the avocado to desired consistency, leaving some chunks for texture.
  5. Season the mashed avocado with sea salt and black pepper, mixing gently.
  6. Drizzle olive oil over the seasoned avocado and fold in carefully.
  7. Spread the creamy avocado mixture generously over each slice of warm toast.
  8. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use perfectly ripe avocados that yield slightly to pressure. The lime juice helps prevent browning and adds brightness. Serve immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
