Ingredients
1 slice of thick-cut sourdough or sprouted grain bread
1/2 ripe Hass avocado
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon sea salt flakes
1/8 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Optional: 1/2 clove of garlic (for rubbing on toast)
Instructions
Toast the slice of bread until it is golden brown and crisp to your liking.
While the bread is still warm, optionally rub the halved garlic clove across the surface of the toast for a subtle flavor infusion.
In a small bowl, scoop out the avocado flesh and add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Use a fork to mash the avocado to your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).
Spread the mashed avocado evenly across the toasted bread, ensuring you reach the edges.
Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and an extra pinch of sea salt if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
For the best results, use bread that is slightly stale or very thick, as it holds the weight of the avocado better. Always use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled for the brightest flavor.
