Avocado Smash Toast

By stancec44

Ingredients

• 1 ripe avocado, halved and pitted
• 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus more to taste
• Sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper
• 1 thick-cut slice seeded multigrain bread, toasted
• 1/2 teaspoon pepitas
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
• Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a medium bowl, combine the avocado halves with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper. Using the back of a spoon, lightly smash the avocado until chunky but not yet a smooth spread. Season to taste with additional lemon juice, salt and pepper, if needed.

2. Arrange the toast on a serving plate and spoon the avocado onto the middle of the toast. Spread the avocado slightly to cover the toast. Sprinkle the avocado with the pepitas, sesame seeds and red-pepper flakes, then drizzle with olive oil before serving.
