Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), halved

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

4 slices of artisanal bread (such as sourdough or ciabatta)

Optional: red pepper flakes for an extra kick

Instructions
 

Prep the Avocados: Begin by cutting the avocados in half. Carefully remove the pits and scoop the creamy flesh into a mixing bowl. Sprinkle in the sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Using a fork or potato masher, blend the ingredients together to achieve your desired texture—whether smooth or with some chunks for added character.

    Mix the Toppings: In a separate medium bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and the finely chopped basil. Drizzle the mixture with the extra-virgin olive oil, and add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss the ingredients until evenly coated, ensuring that the tomatoes and mozzarella are well-distributed with the fragrant basil.

      Toast the Bread: Toast the slices of artisanal bread until they are golden brown and crispy, which can be accomplished by using a toaster, broiling them in the oven, or grilling for an extra layer of flavor.

        Assemble the Toast: Once the bread is toasted to perfection, spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado onto each slice. Take your time to cover the entire surface for a rich base.

          Add the Toppings: Spoon the vibrant tomato and mozzarella mixture over the avocado-filled toast. Pile it high for a visually stunning presentation that highlights the fresh ingredients.

            Drizzle and Serve: Complete your masterpiece with a beautiful drizzle of balsamic glaze. If you enjoy a bit of heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top. Serve immediately, allowing everyone to relish the warm, crispy toast paired with the refreshing toppings.
