Ingredients
• 1 medium avocado
• 1 slice of your favourite bread (sourdough or whole grain bread works well)
• juice of 1 lime
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/8 tbsp salt
• 1 pinch black pepper
Steps:
- Toast the Bread
Toast your bread until golden and crisp. A toaster works, but for extra depth, try brushing the bread lightly with olive oil and toasting it in a pan until edges are crunchy. - Prep the Avocado
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Use a fork to mash it to your preferred consistency—smooth for a uniform spread or slightly chunky for texture. - Season the Mixture
Add the lime juice, salt, pepper, and all 3 teaspoons of olive oil to the mashed avocado. Stir well until fully combined. The oil emulsifies slightly with the avocado, making it luxuriously creamy. - Assemble
Spread the seasoned avocado thickly over the warm toast. The heat from the bread subtly enhances the flavors. - Optional Upgrades
While this version is perfect as-is, consider garnishing with red pepper flakes, cherry tomatoes, microgreens, or a sprinkle of flaky salt for contrast. - Serve and enjoy!
