Ingredients
- 8 grape tomatoes
- 1/2 large Hass avocado, in peel without seed
- 1 large slice whole grain sourdough bread
- 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 protein pick, such as plant-based breakfast sausage, chickpeas, or edamame
- 2 lemon wedges, divided
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt, divided
- 1/8 teaspoon ground coriander or cumin (or try both!)
- 2 teaspoons pine nuts, pan-toasted or raw
- 2 tablespoons small fresh basil leaves
- 1/8 teaspoon black sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Fully preheat a grill or grill-pan over medium-high heat. Insert grape tomatoes onto two (6- to 8-inch) bamboo or reusable skewers. Lightly brush the tomatoes, avocado half*, and bread slice with the olive oil.
- Grill the tomato skewers, avocado, and bread until rich grill marks form, about 3 minutes for the avocado (cut side only) and 5 minutes total for the tomatoes and bread. Remove from the grill.
- Sprinkle the tomatoes with a pinch of the salt and slightly smash with a fork.
- Prepare your protein pick.
- Meanwhile, remove avocado peel. With a fork, mash together the avocado, juice from 1 lemon wedge, ground coriander, and remaining pinch of salt; spread onto the grilled toast.
- Top the avocado toast with your protein pick, smashed tomatoes, pine nuts, basil leaves and, if desired, sesame seeds. Serve with remaining lemon wedge and enjoy!
Notes
*Optional: For extra citrusy flair and to maintain a slight bit brighter greenness, lightly brush avocado with lemon juice before brushing with olive oil.
