Toast Base

Method

Toast Base

1

Prepare the bread

Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the sourdough slices lightly with olive oil (and butter if using).

2

Toast the bread: place slices in the hot skillet and cook 1.5–2.5 minutes per side until golden and crisp with good char marks. Alternatively, toast in a toaster until golden. Remove and set aside on a rack so they stay crisp.

Avocado Topping

3

Prepare the avocado

Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.

4

Mash and season: lightly mash the avocado with a fork to your preferred texture (smooth or slightly chunky). Add lemon juice, 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir gently to combine and taste; adjust salt, pepper, or lemon as needed.

Assembly & Finishes

5

Divide the avocado mixture evenly between the two toasted slices and spread to the edges.

6

Garnish: sprinkle microgreens (or cilantro/parsley) and optional feta/parmesan over the smashed avocado. Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of flaky sea salt.

7

Serve immediately while toast is still warm and crisp.
