Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 4 slices bread slices
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 8 whole cherry tomatoes
- 4 leaves fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Begin by toasting the bread slices until they are golden and crispy, about 3-5 minutes depending on your toaster settings.
While the bread is toasting, cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Use a spoon to scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Add the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper to the avocado in the bowl.
Use a fork to mash the avocado mixture until it is smooth but still has some chunks for texture.
Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous amount of the mashed avocado onto each slice.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place them on top of the avocado spread.
Sprinkle each toast with a pinch of red pepper flakes for some added heat.
Garnish each slice with a fresh basil leaf.
Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
