Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

4 slices of sourdough bread (or your favorite bread)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 clove garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Salt, to taste

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Red pepper flakes, for a subtle kick (optional)

Instructions
 

Toast the Bread: Begin by toasting the slices of sourdough bread until they are beautifully golden brown and crispy. You can achieve this using a toaster or by heating them in a skillet over medium heat until they are toasted to your preference.

    Prepare the Avocado: In a mixing bowl, carefully scoop the flesh from the ripe avocados and mash them using a fork until smooth. Then, add in the minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Stir the mixture well until it reaches a creamy consistency. Set this delicious avocado spread aside.

      Create the Tomato Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes with the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze. Season this mixture lightly with salt and pepper. Gently toss the tomatoes to ensure they are evenly coated in the flavorful dressing.

        Assemble the Toast: Take your toasted sourdough slices and generously spread the creamy avocado mixture over each piece, making sure to cover it completely for the ultimate flavor burst.

          Top with Tomatoes: Layer the balsamic-glazed cherry tomatoes over the avocado on each toast slice, distributing them evenly to create a vibrant and colorful presentation.

            Garnish: For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes over the top for a hint of spice, and add fresh basil leaves for a burst of color and aromatic flavor.

              Serve: If desired, drizzle a little more balsamic glaze over the assembled toasts for added richness. Serve immediately to enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures at their peak.
