⏱️ Cooking Time: 10 minutes | 🍽️ Servings: 1

Instructions

  1. 1.
    Toast the whole grain bread until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside. This step ensures a sturdy base for the toppings and adds texture to the dish. If you don’t have a toaster, use a hot skillet to toast each side for about 2-3 minutes.
  2. 2.
    While the bread is toasting, scoop the ripe avocado into a small bowl. Mash it with a fork until smooth and creamy, ensuring no large chunks remain. The texture should be spreadable but not overly mushy. Add the lemon juice and sea salt, and mix to combine. The lemon juice not only adds a refreshing zest but also prevents the avocado from browning.
  3. 3.
    Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, ensuring uniform pieces for even distribution on the toast. The tomatoes add a juicy contrast to the creamy avocado.
  4. 4.
    Once the bread is toasted, spread the avocado mixture evenly over the slice, covering edge to edge. The goal is to create a thick, even layer.
  5. 5.
    Top the avocado with halved cherry tomatoes. Press them gently into the avocado to keep them secure. For a burst of flavor, sprinkle a pinch more sea salt over the tomatoes. If desired, drizzle with a bit more lemon juice to enhance the citrusy notes. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
