Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 large Ripe avocado
- 100 grams Lean ham
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Start by toasting the whole grain bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 2
While the bread is toasting, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it using a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.
Step 3
Add the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado and mix until well combined. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4
Slice the lean ham into thin strips and set aside. If desired, lightly sear the ham in a nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes for added flavor.
Step 5
Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the fresh parsley.
Step 6
Once the bread is toasted, spread the avocado mixture evenly over each slice.
Step 7
Top with sliced ham, distributing equally over both slices of avocado toast.
Step 8
Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes over the ham and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy a nutritious, heart-healthy meal.
