Start by toasting the whole grain bread slices to your preferred level of crispiness. You can use a toaster or a skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes per side.
While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches a creamy consistency. Mix in the lemon juice, black pepper, and garlic powder. Adjust pepper to your taste.
Rinse and dry the cherry tomatoes, then slice them into halves.
Once the bread is toasted, drizzle each slice with a little olive oil to enhance the flavor and add a healthy fat boost.
Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over each slice of toasted bread.
Top the avocado with halved cherry tomatoes, dividing them equally between the two slices.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh cilantro over the tomatoes for added freshness and flavor.
Serve the tartines immediately, allowing each person to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors of the avocado and tomato combination.
