Prepare the Bread: Start by toasting your bread slices to your preferred level of crispness. Use a toaster, grill pan, or oven for this step.

Mash the Avocado: While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in hal,f and remove the pit. Scoop the avocado into a bowl and mash it with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency. Some prefer it smooth and creamy, while others like it chunky.

Season the Avocado: Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the mashed avocado. If you like, you can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for some extra zing. Stir everything together.

Assemble the Toast: Toast your bread and spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice.

Add Toppings (Optional): This is where you can get super creative. Sliced cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra flavor and texture are great options.

Serve Immediately: Avocado toast is best enjoyed fresh. For the best taste and texture, serve it right after assembling.

Enjoy your delicious and healthy avocado toast! Feel free to customize it with your favorite toppings.
