Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Toast 4 slices of sourdough bread until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side in a toaster or skillet.
  2. Step 2: While the bread toasts, scoop the flesh from 1 medium ripe avocado into a bowl. Add 1 tsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper, then mash with a fork until slightly chunky but spreadable.
  3. Step 3: Spread a thin layer of 1 tsp Vegemite evenly over each toasted sourdough slice, then top each with an even layer of the smashed avocado.
  4. Step 4: Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over the avocado, scatter 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes on top, and garnish with 1/4 cup fresh microgreens before serving immediately.
