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 a grill pan over medium-high heat. While it warms up, brush one side of each slice of sourdough bread with olive oil. Once the grill is hot, place the sliced bread oiled-side down directly onto the grill grates. Grill for about 2-3 minutes until the bread is golden and crispy. Flip the slices and grill the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until it becomes slightly toasted. Remove the grilled bread and set aside to cool slightly.

    Prepare the Avocado: While the bread grills, take the ripe avocado and slice it in half. Carefully remove the pit, then scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Use a fork to lightly mash the avocado, leaving some chunks for a satisfying texture. Season the mashed avocado generously with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil, mixing well to combine.

      Combine Caprese Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, add the halved cherry tomatoes, diced fresh mozzarella, and torn basil leaves. Season this mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper, then drizzle in the balsamic glaze. Gently toss all the ingredients together until they are well integrated without mashing.

        Assemble the Toast: Take your grilled slices of sourdough and spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado over each piece. Ensure to cover the surface evenly. Next, spoon the Caprese mixture on top of the avocado spread, distributing the cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil evenly across both slices.

          Final Touch: For an added burst of flavor, drizzle a bit more balsamic glaze over the top of each toast. If you enjoy a bit of heat, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes over the assembly.

            Serve: To finish, cut each toast diagonally for a stylish presentation. Serve immediately to enjoy the combination of vibrant flavors and fresh, high-quality ingredients!
