Gather Ingredients You’ll need 1 ripe avocado, 2 slices of whole-grain bread, 1 small lemon, salt, and red pepper flakes (optional for spice).
Toast the Bread Place the bread slices in a toaster or toaster oven and toast until golden brown and crispy to your liking.
Prepare the Avocado Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl using a spoon.
Mash the Avocado Use a fork to mash the avocado until smooth but slightly chunky, for a creamy and textured spread.
Add Lemon Juice Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mashed avocado to brighten flavor and prevent browning, then mix gently.
Season the Spread Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the avocado mixture and stir it in to enhance the taste.
Assemble the Toast Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each toasted bread slice with a butter knife or spatula.
Add Final Touches Sprinkle red pepper flakes on top for a little heat, or add any extra toppings like cherry tomatoes or microgreens if desired.
