- Sea salt to taste
Toast and Toppings
- 4 slices whole-grain bread
- 4 ounces mozzarella balls, halved
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup basil leaves, coarsely chopped

Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast the whole-grain bread slices until they are golden brown and slightly crispy to provide a sturdy base for the toppings.
- Prepare the Avocado Mixture: In a bowl, mash the ripe avocados thoroughly. Add the fresh lime juice to enhance flavor and prevent browning, then season with sea salt to taste, mixing well.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread an even layer of the mashed avocado mixture over each slice of toast. Cut each slice in half for easier serving.
- Add Toppings: Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls evenly on top of the avocado spread. Sprinkle the coarsely chopped basil leaves over the toppings.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the assembled toast lightly with balsamic glaze for a tangy sweetness. Serve immediately to enjoy the toast at its freshest.
