- Pepper (to taste)
Optional Toppings:
- Cherry tomatoes

Instructions
- Select a slice of bread and place it in the toaster, cooking until it reaches a golden-brown hue with a satisfying crunch.
- Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Crush the avocado using a fork, creating a smooth yet slightly chunky texture.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mashed avocado to enhance flavor and prevent browning.

Notes
- Try different bread types like sourdough, whole grain, or gluten-free options to suit various dietary needs and preferences.
- Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture; they should yield slightly when gently pressed but not feel mushy.
- Elevate the flavor by adding extra toppings like red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning, or a sprinkle of feta cheese for added complexity.
- Prepare the avocado just before serving to prevent browning and maintain its fresh, vibrant green color.
