1

Halve each cherry tomato and finely slice the basil leaves.

Slice the avocado in half and remove the pit. Use a spoon to remove the avocadoโ€™s flesh from the skin and place it into a bowl. Add the chopped basil and pepper. Mash together with a fork.

Divide avocado mixture between each piece of toast, spreading a layer onto each one. Place each piece of toast onto a plate.

Add tomatoes onto the avocado cut-side-down. There may not be space for all the tomatoes, depending on how large the bread is. Divide shredded mozzarella between each piece of toast and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Garnish with a few basil leaves, if desired. Serve.
