Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Begin by slicing the sourdough bread into four equal slices if not already sliced.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly toast the sourdough bread slices for about 2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Alternatively, use a toaster to toast the bread to your desired crispness.
While the bread is toasting, prepare the avocado topping. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
Add the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the avocado. Using a fork, mash the avocado mixture to your preferred level of smoothness.
Drizzle the olive oil into the avocado mixture and mix well to incorporate.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and chop the fresh cilantro.
Once the bread slices are toasted, evenly distribute the smashed avocado mixture onto each piece of toast.
Top each slice with a few halved cherry tomatoes and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately while the toast is still warm for the best flavor and texture.
