About

This is one of my favourite brunch dishes and is very quick to make. Just make sure your avocados are ripe and the bread is good quality. If serving a crowd, cook the toast in bulk under a grill, put the bowls of ricotta and avocado on the table and invite guests to assemble the toasts themselves.

Ingredients

2 large ripe avocados
sea salt flakes
freshly ground black pepper
