While the tofu is baking, peel and pit the avocados, then place them in a bowl.

Step 9

Add lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to the avocados and mash until smooth to create the avocado spread.

Step 10

Toast the rye bread slices until golden brown.

Step 11

Spread a generous amount of avocado on each toast slice.
