Spread the avocado on the toast. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
For other variations, follow these instructions:
Vegan white bean: Mash the white beans and avocado together. Spread on toast. Toss the arugula with the lemon juice and put on top of the avocado bean spread. Sprinkle with the hemp hearts.
Mexican-inspired: Prepare the pickled red onions ahead of time. Mash the avocado and lime or lemon juice together. Spread on toast. Top with pickled red onions, corn, and feta or cotija.
Egg: Prepare the egg your desired way. Mash the avocado and spread on toast. Top with the egg and other toppings of choice, such as cheese, hot sauce, or chopped bacon.
Caprese: Mash the avocado and spread on toast. Top with the tomatoes and mozzarella. Sprinkle with basil leaves and add a drizzle of balsamic reduction/glaze.
Radish and pea: Steam the peas. Mash the avocado and lemon juice together. Spread on toast. Top with the radishes, peas, and mint leaves. Add other toppings of choice (such as goat cheese or sunflower seeds).
