Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

4 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread

1 lemon (juiced)

Salt, to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Red pepper flakes (optional)

Olive oil, for drizzling

Fresh herbs (like cilantro, parsley, or chives), for garnish

Instructions
 

Toast the Bread: Start by toasting your slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread to your desired level of crispness using a toaster or by grilling them lightly on a skillet.

    Prepare the Avocado: While the bread is toasting, halve the ripe avocados and remove the pits. Scoop the avocado flesh into a mixing bowl.

      Mash the Avocado: Use a fork to mash the avocado until it's a creamy consistency. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can leave some small pieces intact.

        Season the Mixture: Add the lemon juice, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine, adjusting seasoning to taste. If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes.

          Assemble the Toast: Once the bread is toasted, spread the avocado mixture generously on each slice.

            Finish With Garnishes: Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of each toast. Then, sprinkle fresh herbs of your choice for added flavor and color.

              Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Quick & Easy Classic Avocado Toast right away for the best flavor and texture.
