Ingredients
- 1 slice of bread
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 avocado, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Remove cream cheese from refrigerator and let it soften at room temperature for a few minutes to make spreading easier.
- Toast the bread slice in a toaster or under the broiler until it reaches a golden brown color and becomes crisp around the edges.
- While the bread is toasting, prepare the vegetables by halving the cherry tomatoes and slicing the avocado into thin, even pieces.
- Once the toast is ready, spread the softened cream cheese evenly across the entire surface of the bread, ensuring complete coverage.
- Carefully arrange the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the cream cheese, distributing them evenly.
- Place the avocado slices next to or on top of the tomatoes, creating an aesthetically pleasing arrangement.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper over the toast to enhance the flavors.
- If desired, garnish with fresh herbs like chopped chives, basil, or parsley for added aroma and color.
- Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and crisp, enjoying the creamy, fresh, and vibrant combination of ingredients.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Let your cream cheese sit at room temperature for a few minutes before spreading to ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
- Toast Perfection: Watch your bread closely while toasting to achieve that perfect golden-brown color without burning.
- Veggie Prep: Cut cherry tomatoes and avocado just before assembling to maintain their fresh appearance and prevent browning.
- Seasoning Secrets: Use freshly ground black pepper and high-quality sea salt to elevate the flavor profile.
- Herb Enhancement: Fresh herbs aren't just a garnish - they add a burst of flavor and make your toast look professionally prepared.
- Serving Suggestion: Enjoy immediately while the toast is warm and crisp to get the best texture and taste experience.
- Customize Your Toast: Feel free to experiment with additional toppings like microgreens, everything bagel seasoning, or a drizzle of olive oil.
