Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 2 low-carb bread slices
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 4 cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
1. Begin by slicing the low-carb bread into two pieces if not already sliced. Toast these slices in a toaster or toaster oven until golden brown, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
2. While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the seed, and use a spoon to scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
3. Add the lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to the avocado. Use a fork to mash the avocado until it reaches your desired consistency, whether chunky or smooth.
4. Once the bread is toasted, drizzle each slice with a small amount of olive oil.
5. Divide the mashed avocado mixture evenly between the two slices of toasted bread, spreading it out with the back of a spoon or a fork.
6. Slice the cherry tomatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size, and arrange them on top of the avocado mash.
7. Sprinkle the crushed red pepper flakes over the avocado and tomatoes on each toast for a hint of heat.
8. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves to add a fresh, herby flavor.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb classic avocado toast.
