Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), halved

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

4 slices of artisanal bread (e.g., sourdough or ciabatta)

Optional: red pepper flakes for an extra kick

Instructions
 

Prep the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the sea salt and black pepper, then mash with a fork or potato masher to your desired level of smoothness (chunky is great for texture).

    Mix the Toppings: In a separate bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and chopped basil. Drizzle with the extra-virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.

      Toast the Bread: Toast the slices of artisanal bread until golden and crispy. This can be done in a toaster, under a broiler, or on a grill for added smokiness.

        Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado onto each slice of toasted bread.

          Add the Toppings: Spoon the tomato and mozzarella mixture over the avocado spread. Be generous with the toppings for an eye-catching presentation.

            Drizzle and Serve: Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and a sprinkling of red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat. Serve immediately while the toast is warm and crispy.
