Ingredients
- 1 whole ripe avocado
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
- 10 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 0.5 whole lemon
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by slicing the ripe avocado in half. Remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a small mixing bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches a smooth consistency.
Step 2
Cut the fresh mozzarella cheese into thin slices. Aim for about 4-5 slices per serving.
Step 3
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and set them aside.
Step 4
Toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy to your liking.
Step 5
Squeeze the juice from half a lemon over the mashed avocado and mix it well. This adds flavor and helps prevent browning.
Step 6
Spread an even layer of the mashed avocado onto each toasted bread slice.
Step 7
Arrange the mozzarella slices evenly across each avocado-topped toast.
Step 8
Top the mozzarella with halved cherry tomatoes, distributing them evenly on each toast.
Step 9
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over each toast for flavor.
Step 10
Add fresh basil leaves on top for garnish, roughly tearing the leaves if they are large.
Step 11
Sprinkle black pepper over the made toasts to taste. This adds a hint of spice without additional sodium.
Step 12
Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness of the ingredients and the crunchy texture of the toast.
