Ingredients
  

4 slices of sourdough or whole grain bread

1/2 cup tahini

1 ripe avocado

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 garlic clove, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional for spice)

Fresh herbs (e.g., parsley or cilantro) for garnish

Sesame seeds for topping

Instructions
 

Toast the Bread: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the slices of bread on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Alternatively, you can use a toaster or grill the bread on a skillet.

    Prepare Tahini Spread: In a small bowl, mix the tahini with minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Add water gradually, stirring until the mixture is smooth and spreadable. Adjust seasoning as needed.

      Mash the Avocado: In another bowl, mash the ripe avocado with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and chili flakes (if using). Mix until creamy but with some chunks remaining for texture.

        Assemble the Toasts: Spread a generous layer of the tahini mixture on each toasted slice of bread. Top with a generous scoop of the mashed avocado.

          Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and fresh herbs on top of the assembled toasts. Drizzle with more olive oil if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy a delightful, nutritious snack or brunch option!
