Avocado Toast with Heirloom Tomato
Ingredients
- 2 large slices fresh sourdough bread toasted
- 1 large Hass avocado diced and smashed
- heirloom tomato sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1/4 lemon juiced
- dash kosher sea salt
- drizzle extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Toast sourdough bread
- While toast is heating, cut half of an avocado into small cubes. Place in bowl. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Smash avocado cubes into a spread, making sure to leave some small chunks for texture.
- Slice your tomato into 1/4 inch rounds.
- Once bread is toasted. Place 1/2 the avocado mixture on each slice.
- Top with tomato.
- Sprinkle with sea salt.
- Drizzle with high quality olive oil.
Notes
- I routinely purchase Hass (the ones with bumpy, dark skin) avocados when they are very firm. I let them sit in a bowl on my counter until they give gently under pressure. If I'm not using them right away I will place them in the refrigerator that stops the ripening process and keeps them fresh for a couple of days.
- Be sure to slice your tomatoes fairly thin so that eating the toast doesn't end up with them sliding off and down your shirt.
