Instructions

1. Toast the Bread

Toast your bread until golden and crispy on the edges. Use a toaster or grill it in a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil for a more rustic crunch.

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until slightly chunky. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

3. Assemble Your Toast

Spread the mashed avocado generously over your warm toast. Top with your favorite combination of fresh ingredients.

5. Finish with Garnish

Sprinkle with sesame seeds, microgreens, or a dash of red pepper flakes for color and contrast.
