Instructions
1. Toast the Bread
Toast your bread slices until golden and crispy, either in a toaster or on a skillet with a little olive oil for extra flavor.

In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork. Mix in lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth but slightly chunky.
3. Spread and Top
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for heat or any additional toppings of your choice.

Serve immediately while the toast is fresh and crispy. Pair with a side of fresh fruit, yogurt, or a smoothie for a complete meal!
