A Note Before You Start
You can use any type of bread for this recipe although I don't recommend using Rye or Pumpernickel.
Ingredients
4 slices of sandwich bread
1 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
1 ripe avocado
Zest from half a lemon
2 tsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 tsp of salt
Optional additions or toppings:
Red pepper flakes
Finely diced red onion
Finely diced tomato
1/2 tsp of minced garlic
Finely chopped fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro
Crumbeled cotija cheese
Preparation
Step 1: Remove the crust from the sandwich bread slices and lightly toast the bread slices. Cut them into quarters.
Step 2: Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the avocado from the skin and place it in a mixing bowl. Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado. It should resemble the consistency of guacamole.
Step 3: Zest half of the lemon and add it to the bowl. Cut the lemon in half and using the zested half, squeeze for 2 tsp of juice to go into the bowl. Add the olive oil and salt and mix well. Put a dollop of the avocado mixture onto each toast piece and garnish with your desired garnish.
