Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Ripe avocado
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Begin by toasting the slices of whole grain bread. You can use a toaster, oven, or skillet. Toast them until they are golden brown and crispy to your liking, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
While the bread toasts, prepare the avocado. Cut the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Carefully scoop the avocado flesh into a small mixing bowl using a spoon.
Use a fork to mash the avocado until it reaches your desired level of smoothness or chunkiness.
Add the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix everything until it's well combined and the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the toaster or oven and place the slices on a plate.
Divide the avocado mixture evenly between the two slices of toast. Spread it out to cover the surface of each slice completely.
Sprinkle the red chili flakes over the avocado toast for a bit of spiciness.
If using, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for an added burst of freshness and flavor.
Serve the avocado toast immediately while still warm and enjoy your delicious, simple meal.
