Creating a healthy and crunchy sourdough avocado toast is a delicious and nutritious choice for breakfast or a light meal. Here’s a simple recipe to make a satisfying avocado toast:

Ingredients:

1. 2 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread
2. 1 ripe avocado
3. 1 small tomato, thinly sliced
4. 1/2 lemon
5. Salt and pepper to taste
6. Red pepper flakes (optional)
7. Olive oil (for drizzling)
8. Fresh herbs (e.g., cilantro, basil, or parsley) for garnish
9. Optional ingredients: Poached or fried eggs, smoked salmon, crumbled feta cheese, or sliced radishes for extra flavour and nutrition.

Instructions:

1. Toast the Bread:

• Place your sourdough or whole-grain bread slices in a toaster or on a grill pan. Toast until they are golden brown and have a nice crunch.

1. Prepare the Avocado:

• Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
• Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your desired level of creaminess. You can leave it slightly chunky if you prefer some texture.

1. Season the Avocado:

• Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the mashed avocado to add a refreshing tang and prevent browning.
• Season the avocado with a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat if you like it spicy.

1. Assemble the Toast:

• Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
• Arrange the thinly sliced tomato on top of the avocado.

1. Garnish:

• Drizzle a small amount of extra-virgin olive oil over the toast for added flavor and healthy fats.
• Sprinkle with fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, or parsley to enhance the taste and add a pop of color.

Serve!

Your healthy and crunchy sourdough avocado toast is ready to be enjoyed! It’s a delicious and nutritious way to start your day or enjoy a light meal.
