Instructions

Toast Bread: Toast your sourdough slices until they’re golden and crispy. You can use a toaster, oven, or air fryer set at 375°F for 4–5 minutes to achieve a perfect crunch.
Prepare Avocado Spread: In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth but still slightly chunky for a creamy texture with some bite.
Assemble Toast: Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado mixture evenly over each slice of toasted bread.
Add Toppings: Top the avocado spread with halved cherry tomatoes, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and add a small handful of microgreens or arugula for freshness and visual appeal.
Optional Flair: Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the top for a little heat or add a soft poached or fried egg for additional protein and richness.
Serve: Enjoy your avocado toast warm and fresh, making it perfect for a healthy brunch, lunch, or light dinner.
