Instructions
- Toast the bread: Toast the 2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread until they reach your preferred crispness, ensuring a crunchy base for the avocado topping.
- Prepare the avocado: Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado until it becomes mostly smooth but still retains a bit of texture.
- Season the avocado: Mix in 1 teaspoon of lemon or lime juice along with a pinch of salt and black pepper to enhance the flavor and prevent browning.
- Assemble the toast: Spread the seasoned mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices to create a creamy, tasty layer.

- Serve immediately: Enjoy your avocado toast fresh to experience the best texture and flavors.
Notes
- Use a ripe avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure for the creamiest texture.
- Try drizzling balsamic glaze or sprinkling crumbled feta cheese on top for a gourmet twist.
- Adjust seasoning and toppings based on personal preference for a customizable meal.
