2 thick slices multigrain toast
1 avocado
1 teaspoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, flaky if possible
Steps to Make It
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
Toast the bread slices to your desired level of crunchiness.
-
Cut, pit, and remove the avocado from its peel.
-
Mash avocado with a fork in a small bowl until it reaches your desired texture. Mix in the lemon juice as you mash. A fork works best but you can also use a mortar and pestle if you wish.
-
Divide the avocado mixture between the two slices of toast. Drizzle olive oil over the top of each slice. Add a sprinkle of the red pepper flakes and salt to each piece and serve immediately.
