- While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and mash the flesh with a fork until creamy.

Notes
For a spicy kick, sprinkle red pepper flakes or chili powder on top.

To add freshness, top with cherry tomatoes or leafy greens like spinach or arugula.
To keep the avocado from browning, squeeze a bit of lime or lemon juice over it.
