Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 medium Ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 slices Ham
- 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Feta cheese
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Start by toasting the whole grain bread slices to your desired level of crispiness.
While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth, then mix in the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste.
Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over each toasted slice of bread.
Place a slice of ham on top of the avocado-covered toast. If desired, you can lightly crisp the ham by quickly cooking it in a non-stick pan for 1-2 minutes before placing it on the toast.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and distribute them evenly over the ham on each toast slice.
Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top, adding a tangy and savory element.
Tear the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the top, providing an aromatic and flavor-packed finish.
For a touch of heat, optionally add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Avocado Toast with Ham!
