Steps

Toast the slice of whole grain bread until golden brown and crispy.
In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper until creamy.
Spread the mashed avocado evenly on the toasted bread.
Top with halved cherry tomatoes and drizzle with olive oil.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Tips for Crispy Avocado Toast Bites

Choose an avocado that yields gently to pressure; an underripe one can stay lumpy and firm.
Cut the bites just before serving so the toast stays crisp beneath the creamy topping.
Use a sharp serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion to keep the bread from compressing.

Drink pairing

A dry sparkling wine
Its crisp bubbles complement the creamy avocado and fresh tomato without overwhelming the small toast bites.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Best assembled just before serving. Refrigerate any leftovers in a covered container and eat within 1 day; the toast will soften, and the avocado may darken.
