Crisp toasted sourdough spread with lemony smashed avocado and finished with flaky sea salt and a pinch of chili flakes.

Ingredients

For 1 serving

• 2 slice sourdough bread, thickly sliced
• 1 avocado, ripe, yielding to gentle pressure
• 0.5 lemon, juiced
• 1 tsp olive oil, extra-virgin
• 1 pinch chili flake (optional)
• 1 pinch flaky salt

Steps

1. Toast the sourdough in a toaster or under a hot broiler, turning once, for 2 to 4 minutes, until deeply golden and firm enough not to bend when you hold a slice by one edge. Soft toast turns soggy under the avocado.
2. Meanwhile, halve the avocado around the pit, twist the halves apart and lift out the pit. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl with a large spoon.
3. Add the lemon juice and a pinch of salt (about ⅛ teaspoon) and mash with a fork until as chunky or smooth as you like. Taste, and add a little more salt if it tastes flat.
4. Pile the avocado onto the hot toast and spread it right to the edges with the back of the fork.
5. Drizzle with the olive oil and finish with the flaky salt and the chili flakes, if using.
6. Eat straight away, while the toast is still crunchy.
