½ tsp salt (adjust to taste).

¼ tsp black pepper or red pepper flakes.

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (optional).

Instructions:

Toast the Bread, Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and lightly brush them with olive oil. Toast them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy. Alternatively, toast them on a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side. Prepare the Avocado, While the bread is toasting, cut 1 ripe avocado in half and remove the pit.

Once the bread is toasted to a light golden brown, remove it from the heat. Lightly brush each slice with olive oil for extra flavor and a slight sheen. Take a fork or spoon and spread a generous amount of the avocado mixture onto each toasted slice. Make sure to evenly distribute the topping so every bite is flavorful. 1.
