Ingredients

• 2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread (or your choice of bread)
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1/4 cup kimchi, chopped (adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
• 1/4 cup microgreens (such as radish or sunflower microgreens)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for drizzling)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Red pepper flakes (optional, for extra spice)

Instructions

1. Toast the Bread:
   • Toast the slices of bread to your desired level of crispness. You can use a toaster or grill the bread on a skillet with a little olive oil for extra flavor.
2. Prepare the Avocado:
   • While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Assemble the Toasts:
   • Spread the mashed avocado evenly on the toasted bread.
4. Add the Kimchi:
   • Top the avocado with a generous amount of chopped kimchi. The tanginess and spice of the kimchi will complement the creamy avocado beautifully.
5. Sprinkle Hemp Seeds and Microgreens:
   • Sprinkle hemp seeds on top of the kimchi for a crunchy texture and a boost of healthy fats.
   • Finish with a handful of microgreens for freshness and a burst of flavor.
6. Optional Toppings:
   • Drizzle a little olive oil on top for extra richness, and add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick if desired.
7. Serve:
   • Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant, nutritious toasts!
