Ingredients
  

2 slices of rustic sourdough bread

1 ripe avocado

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 ball (about 4 oz) fresh mozzarella, diced

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Crushed red pepper flakes for added heat

Instructions
 

Prep the Bread: Begin by preheating your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush one side of the sourdough bread slices with olive oil. Once the grill is ready, place the oiled side of the bread down and grill for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Flip the slices and grill the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until it’s lightly toasted. Remove the bread from the grill and set aside on a plate.

    Prepare the Avocado: While the bread grills, cut the ripe avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the avocado flesh into a medium mixing bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado gently, leaving some chunks for added texture. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil to taste.

      Combine Caprese Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, diced fresh mozzarella, torn basil leaves, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the mixture and toss everything gently to combine, ensuring the ingredients are evenly coated.

        Assemble the Toast: Take the grilled sourdough and spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado on each slice. Top each slice with the Caprese mixture, making sure to evenly distribute the halved cherry tomatoes, mozzarella pieces, and basil leaves.

          Final Touch: For an added flavor kick, drizzle a bit more balsamic glaze over the toppings. If you enjoy a bit of spice, sprinkle the optional crushed red pepper flakes on top.

            Serve: Slice the toast diagonally into halves or quarters for easy serving. Enjoy immediately to savor the vibrant flavors and freshness of the ingredients!
