Ingredients

• 2 slices Whole grain bread
• 1 medium Ripe avocado
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 slices Ham
• 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Feta cheese
• 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by toasting the whole grain bread slices to your desired level of crispiness.

Step 2

While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.

Step 3

Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth, then mix in the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Step 4

Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over each toasted slice of bread.

Step 5

Place a slice of ham on top of the avocado-covered toast. If desired, you can lightly crisp the ham by quickly cooking it in a non-stick pan for 1-2 minutes before placing it on the toast.

Step 6

Halve the cherry tomatoes and distribute them evenly over the ham on each toast slice.

Step 7

Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top, adding a tangy and savory element.

Step 8

Tear the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the top, providing an aromatic and flavor-packed finish.

Step 9

For a touch of heat, optionally add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Avocado Toast with Ham!
