Equipment
- Frying Pan & Tongs

Ingredients
- 4 medium/large slices of Sourdough (see notes)
- 2 medium/large Avocados, peeled, pitted & finely sliced
- 4oz / 120g full fat Cream Cheese, or as needed
- 4 heaped tsp finely diced Fresh Chives, or as needed

- Drizzle the other sides with more oil, then toast both sides until crisp and lightly charred. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your pan.

Notes
a) Bread - You want something fairly firm that crisps up well, like Sourdough. Just to counteract the soft topping. Soft and thin sandwich bread isn't suitable for this recipe. Plus you preferably want it in the shape of the avocado!
b) Toasting the bread - You can also toast the bread under the grill if you'd prefer. I recommend using extra virgin olive oil over regular olive oil because it's got more flavour.
c) Variations/Additions:
- Everything bagel seasoning instead of chilli, salt & pepper.
- Add a fried or poached egg.
- Add smoked salmon.
- Add sliced tomatoes or roasted cherry tomatoes.
