1
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease. Once cooled, chop into small pieces.
2
Prepare the Avocado
Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).
3
Chop the Tomatoes and Basil
Halve the grape tomatoes and chop the fresh basil leaves into small pieces. Add both to the mashed avocado.
4
Season the Mixture
Add the chopped bacon to the avocado mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir everything together until well combined.

5
Toast the Bread
Toast the multigrain bread slices until golden brown and crispy.
6
Spread the Mixture
Evenly distribute the avocado mixture over the toasted multigrain bread slices.
7
Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the top of the avocado toast for added flavor.

8
Serve the Dish
Serve the Lil' Italy avocado toast immediately while the bread is still warm. Enjoy!
