Select wrinkled-skin avocados and test ripeness by gently pressing the stem end—it should yield slightly but not be mushy.
2
Carefully run a knife around the pit, twist to separate the halves, strike the pit with the knife blade, twist to remove it, or scrape the flesh out from the skin.
3
Slice the avocado flesh into thin slices.
4
Heat a skillet with oil or butter, place bread slices in it, weigh them down with a plate to toast evenly, then flip and repeat until both sides are golden.
5
Once toasted, trim one side of a garlic clove and rub it over the bread surface for a subtle garlic flavor.
6
Arrange avocado slices on the toast, squeeze lime juice over them, then season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
7
Top with optional garnishes like pomegranate and feta cheese if desired, then serve.
