1/2 ripe Haas avocado
1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice
A pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper

The Caprese: 3 cherry tomatoes (sliced), fresh basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
The Protein Power: 1 hard-boiled or fried egg and a sprinkle of hemp seeds.

Instructions

Place your bread slice into the toaster or under a broiler. Toast until it reaches a deep golden brown. A sturdier, crunchier toast provides the perfect structural base for the creamy avocado mash, preventing the bread from getting soggy.
While the bread toasts, slice your avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the lemon or lime juice, salt, and pepper. Use a fork to mash the avocado until it reaches your desired consistency—some prefer it chunky, while others like it completely smooth.
Spread the avocado mash generously over the warm toast. Immediately add your chosen toppings from the five variations listed above. Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and the toppings are fresh.
