4. Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese over each slice of warm toast.
5. Divide the mashed avocado between the two slices and spread it evenly.

Notes
Use sturdy bread so the toppings stay supported and the toast does not soften too quickly.
Add the lemon juice directly to the avocado as soon as you mash it to keep it tasting bright and looking fresh.
Assemble just before serving for the best texture and the crispest toast.
