Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 4 slices of bread (whole grain or sourdough work best)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil (optional)
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Start by choosing avocados that are slightly soft when gently squeezed, but not too squishy! This ensures great texture and flavor.
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt, a splash of lemon juice, and mash to your preferred consistency.
- Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crispy. A nice crunch adds dimension!
- Spread the avocado mixture generously over each slice of toast. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with red pepper flakes, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Tip: Mash your avocado with a tiny pinch of salt before it ever touches the toast, then let it sit for 60 seconds.
