    Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

    2

    While the oven is heating, slice the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl and mash it with a fork until it's as smooth or chunky as you prefer.

    3

    Add salt and pepper to the mashed avocado, mixing well until combined. You can add a drizzle of olive oil if you like it creamier.

    4

    Next, lay the slices of bread on a baking sheet and lightly drizzle each slice with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until the bread is golden and crispy.

    5

    Remove the bread from the oven and generously spread the mashed avocado mixture on top of each slice.

    6

    Place a piece of cheese on top of the avocado spread. You can use any cheese you like; cheddar or mozzarella works wonderfully!

    7

    Return the assembled toast to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to let the cheese melt beautifully.

    8

    Once melted and bubbly, remove from the oven, let cool for a moment, and enjoy your delightful cheesy avocado toast!
