Ingredients

2 slices whole wheat bread, or bread of choice
1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 tbsp basil pesto
1 tsp minced garlic
1 medium avocado, peeled and pitted
1/4 tsp salt, more or less, to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, more or less, to taste
1/2 lime - juiced (or lemon) more or less, to taste

Garnishment:

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup broccoli sprouts
2 tbsp shaved parmesan cheese, or your favorite cheese
lightly dried or fresh parsley, optional, sub with basil

Instructions

Toast 2 slices of your favorite bread in a toaster until lightly browned and crispy. Or until desired doneness.
In a small mixing bowl, mash the avocado with the salt, pepper, and lime juice.
When the toast is ready, combine the melted butter, pesto sauce, and minced garlic. Brush over each slice of toast. Top with the avocado mixture.
Garnish each toast with tomatoes, sprouts, parsley, and shaved parmesan cheese. Best eaten promptly.

Notes

LEMON/LIME JUICE: This addition is completely optional. It helps to enhance the flavor of the mashed avocado as well as slow down the browning process.

GARLIC: Add to your taste bud preference. Same with the salt and pepper. If you're unsure of flavors of any ingredients, error on the side of caution and add a little at a time and adjust as needed.
