Instructions
Creating your Avocado Toast with Tomatoes, Basil, and Mozzarella is straightforward. Follow these steps, and you’ll be savoring this delightful dish in no time:
1. Toast the Bread: Start by toasting the slices of bread until they are golden brown and crisp. You can use a toaster or place them under the broiler in the oven until your desired level of crispness is achieved.
2. Prepare the Avocado: While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocados in half. Remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork, adding salt and pepper to taste.
3. Combine Toppings: In a separate bowl, gently mix together the halved cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and fresh basil. A pinch of salt and pepper elevates the flavors.
4. Assemble the Toast: Once the bread is done toasting, spread a generous amount of mashed avocado on top of each slice.
5. Add the Toppings: Spoon the tomato and mozzarella mixture over the avocado spread, ensuring an even distribution across the toast.
6. Drizzle Olive Oil: For added richness, drizzle a bit of olive oil over the topped toast.
7. Finish with Balsamic Glaze: If desired, drizzle some balsamic glaze over the top for a sweet and tangy finish.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your creation right away for the best flavor and texture!
