Ingredients

Scale

Avocado Spread

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Toast and Toppings

  • 4 slices bread, toasted (whole grain recommended, or gluten-free if preferred)
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced and cut to fit the bread
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup basil leaves, roughly chopped
  • Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocado Spread: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the fresh lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Using a fork, mash the avocado mixture while keeping it slightly chunky to maintain texture.
  2. Assemble the Toast: Evenly spread the mashed avocado onto each slice of toasted bread. Arrange the fresh mozzarella slices on top of the avocado, followed by the halved grape tomatoes and chopped basil leaves.
  3. Season and Serve: Add additional sea salt and black pepper if desired to enhance the flavors. Drizzle balsamic glaze generously over the assembled toast. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and vibrant flavors at their best.

Notes

  • Use whole grain bread for added nutrition and flavor.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute the bread with gluten-free bread variety.
  • If grape tomatoes are unavailable, sliced regular tomatoes make a great alternative.
  • Serve immediately to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
