Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
2
Mash the Avocado
Using a fork, mash the avocado to your desired consistency. You can make it smooth or leave some chunks for texture.

Season the Avocado
Add the salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil to the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine and taste for seasoning.

4
Toast the Sourdough
Using a toaster or grill, toast the slices of sourdough bread until golden brown and crispy.

Evenly spread the seasoned avocado mixture onto each slice of toasted bread.
6
