Ingredients

For the Toast

2 slices slices of good-quality bread Sourdough or whole grain work great.

Main Ingredients

1 large ripe avocado Choose one that yields slightly to gentle pressure.
1 large tomato Or a handful of cherry tomatoes.
1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese Preferably mozzarella in balls.
a handful fresh basil leaves
to taste salt
to taste pepper
to drizzle olive oil For added flavor.
to drizzle balsamic glaze Optional, but highly recommended.

Method

Preparation

Begin by toasting your favorite slices of bread until crispy.
While the bread is toasting, slice the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop it into a bowl. Mash it with a fork or leave it slightly chunky.
Slice your tomato into thick pieces or halve cherry tomatoes. If using balls of mozzarella, slice those as well.

Assembly

Spread the mashed avocado generously on each slice of toast.
Top with layers of tomato and mozzarella slices.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze.

Notes

For added heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes. Store leftovers separately in airtight containers and toast fresh bread when ready to eat again.
