Preparation

Pick a ripe avocado — it should give slightly to gentle pressure near the stem — that's the key to a creamy result.
Toast the bread slices for 2-3 minutes, in a toaster or a pan, until golden and crisp.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Mash it with a fork with the lemon juice, leaving a few chunks for texture — the lemon also keeps the avocado from browning.
Spread the mashed avocado generously over the still-warm toast.
Drizzle with olive oil, add a pinch of chili and salt, and dig in right away, before the bread softens.
