1
Pickle the Shallots
If the pickled shallots are not already prepared, slice the shallots thinly and soak them in equal parts vinegar and water for at least 30 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and sugar to enhance the flavor.
2
Prepare the Avocado
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until you achieve the desired level of creaminess. Add a pinch of salt and mix well.
3
Chop the Toppings
Finely chop the Fresno chili (remove seeds for less heat if preferred) and cilantro. Set aside for assembly.

4
Toast the Bread
Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown and crispy.
5
Spread the Avocado
Once toasted, spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado over each slice of sourdough bread.
6
Top with Ingredients
Distribute the pickled shallots evenly over the avocado. Sprinkle the chopped Fresno chili and cilantro on top. Finally, add the mixed seeds as a crunchy topping.
7
Season to Taste
Finish with a sprinkle of black pepper and additional salt if needed.
