Ingredients:
- 2 slices of whole-grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil (optional, for drizzling)
- Fresh basil or cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Begin by toasting the slices of whole-grain bread in a toaster until they reach your desired level of crispiness. This step creates a sturdy base for the toppings and adds an appealing crunch to the dish.
- While the bread is toasting, slice the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork, adding salt and pepper to taste. Feel free to add a dash of lemon or lime juice if you desire a tangy flavor and to prevent browning.
- Once the toast is ready, spread a generous amount of the mashed avocado onto each slice, making sure to cover the surface evenly. This creamy layer serves as the foundation for the fresh toppings to come.
- Next, arrange the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the avocado spread. You can either scatter them haphazardly for a rustic look or arrange them neatly for a more polished presentation.
- If desired, drizzle a bit of olive oil over the top for added richness and flavor. Finish with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and add fresh herbs like basil or cilantro for an extra burst of flavor and a pop of color.
Extra Tips:
For a twist on flavor, consider adding some crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce on top for a spicy kick. You can also experiment with different types of bread, such as sourdough or rye, for varied textures.
If you want to make this dish more filling, top it with a poached egg or some smoked salmon for a protein boost.
Enjoy your delicious and healthy avocado toast!
