Ingredients
  

Toast
  • - 1 slice thick-cut sourdough bread
Avocado Base
  • - ½ ripe Hass avocado
  • - 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • - pinch of salt
  • - pinch of black pepper
Toppings
  • - 2 oz fresh mozzarella torn into pieces
  • - ⅓ cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • - 4–5 fresh basil leaves torn
  • - 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • - 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil

Method
 

  1. Toast the bread until golden and firm.
  2. Mash avocado in a small bowl with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread avocado evenly on the toast.

Notes

  • Storage: Best assembled fresh and eaten immediately.
  • Make ahead: Balsamic glaze can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
  • Swap: Use burrata instead of fresh mozzarella for an even richer version;
    swap balsamic glaze for a drizzle of good olive oil and flaky salt.
