Method

Preparing the Bread

  1. 1

    Toast the Bread

    Place the sourdough bread slices in a toaster or under a broiler until they are golden and crispy.

Making the Avocado Mixture

  1. 2

    Mash the Avocado

    In a bowl, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado until creamy but still chunky.

  2. 3

    Add Flavor

    Pour in the lemon juice, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Mix well until combined.

Assembling the Toast

  1. 4

    Spread the Avocado

    Take the toasted bread slices and generously spread the avocado mixture on top of each slice.

  2. 5

    Add Toppings

    Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place them on top of the avocado. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
