This Avocado Toast is creamy, vibrant, and gets a spritz of sunshine from Sonoma Gourmet Lemon and Herb Olive Oil for the ultimate flavor upgrade on every crunch. Serves 2 people.
Ingredients:
- 2 slices country or sourdough bread, toasted
- 1 ripe avocado
- 4 tbsp ricotta cheese
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp Sonoma Gourmet Lemon and Herb Olive Oil
- 4–6 fresh basil leaves, torn
- Flakey salt and black pepper, to taste
Preparation:
- Cut and mash avocado with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Spread ricotta cheese on each warm toast, then top with mashed avocado.
- Drizzle Sonoma Gourmet Lemon and Herb Olive Oil over each toast.
- Sprinkle lemon zest, torn basil, a touch of flakey salt, and serve.
- Pro-Tip: Layer everything while the bread is still warm, as this helps all the flavors meld together and brings out the aromatic lemon and basil
