Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 large lemon (for zest and juice)

2 slices of robust whole grain or sourdough bread

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Salt, to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Red pepper flakes (optional, for a touch of heat)

Microgreens or fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley) for garnish

Instructions
 

Toast the Bread: Begin by placing your slices of whole grain or sourdough bread in a toaster or on a grill. Toast until they are golden brown and crispy. This step creates a strong foundation and adds a satisfying crunch to your avocado toast.

    Prepare the Avocado: While your bread is toasting, take the ripe avocados and slice them in half. Carefully remove the pit, and scoop the creamy flesh into a mixing bowl. With a fork, mash the avocado to your desired creaminess—smooth and velvety or with a bit of chunkiness for texture.

      Add Lemon Zest and Juice: Use a Microplane or a zester to grate the zest of the lemon directly into the mashed avocado for a burst of freshness. Then, cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl, taking care to remove any seeds. The lemon not only brightens the flavor but also helps keep the avocado from browning.

        Season the Mixture: Pour in the olive oil and sprinkle in salt and freshly cracked black pepper to the avocado mixture. Stir to combine, and taste for seasoning. If you enjoy a hint of spiciness, feel free to add red pepper flakes according to your preference.

          Assemble the Toast: Once the bread has achieved a perfect crispiness, generously spread the lemon-infused avocado mixture over the top of each slice. You can apply a hearty layer for a satisfying bite, or spread it evenly for a lighter version.

            Garnish and Serve: For a delightful finishing touch, top each slice with a handful of microgreens or a sprinkle of freshly chopped herbs. A light drizzle of additional olive oil or a splash more of lemon juice can elevate the flavor even further.

              Enjoy: Serve your zesty lemon avocado toast immediately while the bread is still warm and crisp, allowing you to savor the wonderful combination of flavors and textures.
