Begin by preparing your ingredients: Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and set them aside. Slice the ripe avocado lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
Add the lemon juice and a pinch of salt to the avocado, then mash it gently with a fork until you achieve a slightly chunky consistency.
Finely chop the basil leaves and fold them into the mashed avocado mixture.
Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once heated, add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan evenly.
Place the slices of sourdough bread in the pan and toast each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool slightly before spreading the mashed avocado generously over each slice.
Top each tartine with halved cherry tomatoes, ensuring they are evenly distributed over the avocado layer.
Season with the remaining salt, black pepper, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a hint of heat.
Serve immediately, garnished with a few extra fresh basil leaves if desired.
