Ingredients:

1 avocado
200g
2 tsp olive oil
9g
2 slices whole-wheat bread
54g
2 tsp lemon juice
10g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 tsp red pepper (spice)
0.32g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Avocado:
- Cut the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit.
- Scoop out the flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork until you achieve your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
2. Add Flavor:
- Add the lemon juice to the mashed avocado and stir to combine. This will add a zesty flavor and help prevent the avocado from browning.
- Add the olive oil to the mixture and stir well.
3. Season:
- Add a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper to the avocado mixture. Stir to ensure an even distribution of seasoning.
4. Toast the Bread:
- While preparing the avocado mixture, toast the slices of whole-wheat bread using a toaster or oven until they reach your preferred level of crispiness.
5. Assemble the Toast:
- Once the bread is toasted, spread the avocado mixture generously onto both slices.
6. Finish with Spice:
- Sprinkle the red pepper flakes evenly over the top of the avocado toast. This adds a nice kick and visual appeal.
7. Serve Immediately:
- Serve the avocado toast immediately to enjoy it at its freshest. Optionally, you can garnish with additional toppings such as cherry tomatoes, microgreens, or a poached egg.

Tips:

- Use a ripe avocado for the best texture. It should be slightly soft to the touch but not mushy.

- Toast the bread to your preferred level of crispiness for added texture contrast with the creamy avocado.

- Adjust the lemon juice to your taste preference. A bit more can add a nice tangy kick.

- Sprinkle extra toppings like cherry tomatoes, microgreens, or a fried egg to enhance the dish.

- Season the avocado mixture to your taste. A bit more salt or pepper can go a long way.

- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper along with the red pepper flakes.
