- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 slices slices of bread
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)

Instructions
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the avocado in the bowl.
Mash the avocado mixture with a fork until creamy to your liking. Set aside.
Preheat your oven broiler or toaster oven to high heat.
Brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
Toast the bread slices under the broiler for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove the toasted bread from the oven and spread equal portions of the mashed avocado mixture onto each slice.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the avocado-covered slices.
Place the topped bread slices back under the broiler for an additional 1-3 minutes, or until the cheese melts and starts to bubble.
Remove the avocado and cheese toasts from the oven carefully.
Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the melted cheese for a hint of spice, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy and cheesy avocado toast.
