Ingredients
Method
- Toast the sourdough bread in a toaster or dry skillet until the edges are golden brown.
- Transfer the hot toast to a wire cooling rack. Immediately brush the top surface with extra virgin olive oil to create a moisture barrier. Let it rest for 60 seconds.
- In a small bowl, combine the scooped avocado flesh, lemon juice, and half of the flaky sea salt. Mash gently with a fork, retaining some chunky texture.
- Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over the cooled toast. Garnish with the remaining sea salt and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
Notes
Expert Tip: Never spread cold avocado on steaming hot toast. The thermal shock causes the avocado to oxidize instantly at the boundary layer, altering the flavor and appearance. Always use a cooling rack.
