Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 lime (for juice and zest)

1 small clove of garlic, finely minced

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust according to your heat preference)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough or whole grain recommended for best flavor)

Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, microgreens, thinly sliced radishes, crumbled feta cheese, or poached eggs

Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocado: Halve the avocados and carefully remove the pits. Scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado until you achieve your preferred creaminess, whether chunky or smooth.

    Enhance the Flavor: To the mashed avocado, add the freshly squeezed lime juice, along with the zest from the lime. Stir in the minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and season generously with salt and black pepper. Mix thoroughly, tasting the mixture as you go and adjusting the seasoning to your liking.

      Toast the Bread: While you are preparing the avocado mix, toast your bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy. You can use a toaster, a broiler in your oven, or a skillet on the stovetop depending on your preference.

        Assemble the Toast: Once the bread is toasted and slightly cooled, generously spread the zesty avocado mixture onto each slice, ensuring an even coating for maximum flavor.

          Add Your Desired Toppings: Elevate your toast with one or more optional toppings. Fresh diced tomatoes bring brightness, microgreens add a vibrant touch, sliced radishes introduce a satisfying crunch, crumbled feta lends creaminess, or a delicately poached egg offers a hearty protein component.

            Finish with a Drizzle: Drizzle a touch of extra virgin olive oil over the top of each avocado toast, enhancing the dish with richness and flavor depth.

              Serve Immediately: Present your zesty lime avocado toast right away to indulge in the fresh flavors and delightful textures while they are at their peak.
