Ingredients

Instructions

Step 1: Toast your slice of sourdough bread to your desired level of golden-brown crispiness.

Step 2: Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add a squeeze of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and mash it with a fork. Keep it a little chunky for texture!

Step 3: Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto your warm sourdough toast.

Step 4: Top the avocado with halved cherry tomatoes and a generous heap of fresh microgreens.

Step 5: Gently drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and the balsamic glaze over the top.

Step 6: Finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately and enjoy with a cup of fresh coffee.
