Instructions
Prepare the Avocado Mixture
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until it’s creamy but still slightly chunky. Add lemon juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes for extra flavor, and mix well.
Toast the Bread
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add the honey or maple syrup at this stage.
Assemble the Toast
- Spread a generous amount of the mashed avocado mixture on each slice of toasted bread. Top with halved cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs if desired.
Serve and Enjoy
- Drizzle the avocado toast with olive oil just before serving for a final touch of flavor. Enjoy it as a quick breakfast or snack!
