Ingredients
For the Base:
-
2 slices whole-grain or sourdough bread
-

-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
Optional: drizzle of olive oil or squeeze of lemon juice
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast slices until golden and crisp.
- Prepare the Avocado: Scoop avocado into a bowl and mash with a fork until smooth or chunky, as desired. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
- Assemble: Spread mashed avocado evenly on each toast slice. Add your favorite topping combination (see ideas below).
Notes
Make Ahead: Mash avocado with lemon juice and store covered in the fridge for up to 1 day to prevent browning.

Add Flavor: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning, smoked paprika, or sea salt flakes for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions: Enjoy for breakfast, brunch, or as a light lunch with soup or salad.
Storage Tips: Best served fresh. If saving, press plastic wrap directly onto the avocado surface to slow oxidation.
