Equipment

  • Toaster
  • Knife
  • Bowl

Ingredients

  • 2 slices sourdough bread or whole grain bread for added fiber
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 medium-sized ripe tomato
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • microgreens
  • everything bagel seasoning
  • feta cheese for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Place your bread slices in a toaster and toast until they reach your preferred level of crispness. For optimal texture contrast with the creamy avocado, aim for a medium-dark toast.
  • Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mash to your preferred consistency.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice the tomato into thin rounds approximately ¼-inch thick. For maximum flavor, let the sliced tomatoes rest on a paper towel with a light sprinkle of salt for 2-3 minutes.
  • Spread the mashed avocado evenly across the toasted bread slices, creating a layer approximately ½-inch thick. Arrange the tomato slices on top, slightly overlapping for even coverage.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired. Finish with a final light sprinkle of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Add your choice of garnishes—microgreens, everything bagel seasoning, or a sprinkle of feta cheese.

Notes

For a lower-calorie version, try using mashed edamame or green peas mixed with avocado. Add a poached egg on top for extra protein. The perfect avocado should yield slightly to pressure but not be overly soft.
To store avocado for later use, keep the pit with the mashed avocado and place plastic wrap directly on the surface to minimize air exposure.
