Directions
Step 1
Begin by toasting the bread slices until they are golden and crispy, about 3-5 minutes depending on your toaster settings.

Use a fork to mash the avocado mixture until it is smooth but still has some chunks for texture.

Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous amount of the mashed avocado onto each slice.
Step 6
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place them on top of the avocado spread.

Sprinkle each toast with a pinch of red pepper flakes for some added heat.

Garnish each slice with a fresh basil leaf.
