Toast like you mean it. Toast your sourdough slice until it's golden and has some actual texture. We want it sturdy enough to hold our toppings without turning into a soggy mess, but not so crispy that it cuts the roof of your mouth.
Ricotta foundation. Spread the ricotta evenly over your toast while it's still warm. The slight warmth will make the ricotta even creamier and help it settle into all the little nooks and crannies of the bread.
Avocado artistry. Slice your avocado half into thin, even slices. Lay them over the ricotta in overlapping layers, like little green shingles. Don't mash it, let those beautiful slices shine.
Lemon magic. Zest your lemon directly over the avocado. Those little bits of zest are flavor bombs that will make every bite pop. Then add a gentle squeeze of lemon juice over everything. Not too much, just enough to brighten things up.
Salt finale. Finish with a generous pinch of flaky sea salt. This isn't just seasoning, it's the final touch that brings all the flavors together and adds that satisfying crunch.
Eat immediately. This is best enjoyed right away while the toast is still warm and the avocado is at its peak. Take a moment to appreciate what you've created, then dive in.
