Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices gluten-free Ezekiel bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 medium tomato
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Start by slicing each piece of gluten-free Ezekiel bread into even thicknesses if not already sliced. Then, place the slices in a toaster or on a baking sheet under a broiler until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado to your desired consistency.
Add lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine all the ingredients. This will bring a fresh and tangy flavor to the avocado spread.
Rinse and dry the tomato. Cut it into thin, even slices.
Once the bread is toasted to your liking, lay the slices on a plate. Spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture evenly over each slice of toast.
Place tomato slices evenly over the avocado spread on each piece of toast.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, optionally tearing them into smaller pieces for enhanced flavor distribution. For a bit of heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious and vibrant gluten-free Ezekiel toast with avocado and tomato.
