- 0.5 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions
Start by toasting the whole grain bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy. This should take about 5 minutes depending on your toaster or oven settings.
While the bread is toasting, prepare the avocado. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.
Add the fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado and mix well to combine.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half.
Once the bread is toasted, drizzle a small amount of extra virgin olive oil over each slice.
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
Top the avocado toast with the sliced cherry tomatoes.
Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and sprinkle them over the cherry tomatoes.
Finish with a light sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a bit of spice.
Serve immediately and enjoy this heart-healthy avocado toast as a nutritious snack or breakfast option.
