Caprese Avocado Toast
Description
This Caprese Avocado Toast starts by mashing ripe avocados with fresh lemon juice and seasoning to maintain a bright, creamy spread with a slightly chunky texture. The mashed avocado is evenly spread across toasted bread slices, providing a crisp base.
Fresh slices of mozzarella add a soft, mild creaminess, while halved grape tomatoes contribute juicy bursts of sweetness and acidity. Chopped basil brings herbal freshness that complements the other ingredients. A drizzle of balsamic glaze adds a subtle sweetness and tang that ties the components together.
This recipe is quickly assembled and ideal for breakfast, lunch, or a light snack. Using whole grain or gluten-free bread adapts the recipe to dietary preferences. Tomato slices can replace grape tomatoes if preferred. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between creamy avocado, fresh vegetables, and crisp toast.
Ingredients
- 2 avocado ripe
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice fresh
- sea salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 4 lices bread toasted
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese sliced and cut into pieces, to fit the bread, fresh
- 1 cup grape tomato halved
- 1/4 cup basil leaves roughly chopped
- balsamic glaze for drizzling
Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half, remove pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper, to taste. With a fork, mash the ingredients together, keeping the texture slightly chunky.
- Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto toasted bread slices. Top with fresh mozzarella slices, tomatoes, and basil. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve immediately.
- Note-I like to use whole grain bread. If you need the recipe to be gluten-free, use gluten-free bread. If you don't have grape tomatoes, tomato slices will work too!
