Start by toasting the whole grain bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy. You can use a toaster or a pan over medium heat for this step.
While the bread is toasting, cut the small avocado in half. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh from one half and place it into a small bowl. The other half can be stored in an airtight container with a slight squeeze of lemon juice to keep it from browning for future use.
Add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the avocado in the bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado until it reaches a slightly chunky consistency.
Season the mashed avocado with 0.125 teaspoon of salt and 0.125 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves or quarters depending on your preference.
Once the bread is toasted, spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly onto each slice.
Top the avocado toast with the sliced cherry tomatoes and sprinkle 0.0625 teaspoon of red pepper flakes over the top for a hint of spice.
If desired, garnish with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh cilantro to add a fresh, herby flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat classic avocado on toast!
