Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 large Ripe avocado
- 100 grams Lean ham
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Start by toasting the whole grain bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
While the bread is toasting, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it using a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.
Add the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado and mix until well combined. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Slice the lean ham into thin strips and set aside. If desired, lightly sear the ham in a nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes for added flavor.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the fresh parsley.
Once the bread is toasted, spread the avocado mixture evenly over each slice.
Top with sliced ham, distributing equally over both slices of avocado toast.
Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes over the ham and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy a nutritious, heart-healthy meal.
