Once the bread is toasted, drizzle a small amount of extra virgin olive oil over each slice.

Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
Step 7
Top the avocado toast with the sliced cherry tomatoes.
Step 8
Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and sprinkle them over the cherry tomatoes.
Step 9
Finish with a light sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a bit of spice.
