Ingredients

Toast

  • 1 slice bread of choice
  • 2 tablespoons goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 ripe avocado
  • 1/2 tablespoon pepitas (pumpkin seeds), roasted

Lemon Tahini Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF or use a toaster oven.
  • While the oven is preheating, prepare your lemon-tahini sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together your tahini and lemon. The mixture should thicken. Whisk in the water. Add more if the sauce becomes too thick.
  • Spread your goat cheese on top of the bread and bake with the pepitas (on the same baking sheet) for 6 minutes. Set to broil for 1 minute, keeping an eye on the pepitas.
  • Remove from the oven and top with sliced or mashed avocado, lemon-tahini sauce and your toasted pepitas.

Notes

Feel free to double this recipe to make it a filling meal. You can also add one more slice of bread to make it a sandwich or serve it with a salad on the side.
Bake them longer if you like a crispier toast, just keep an eye on your pepita seeds so they don't burn.
