Open-Face Avocado Toast

A good avocado toast starts with excellent bread. Depending on what's available, shoot for rustic sourdough, country white or multigrain varieties. But the real star here is the creamy-rich filling: mash together one avocado, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve open-face on toasted bread with a shower of spices like smoked paprika and chile flakes. Grated Parmesan cheese gives it an extra boost.
