• 2 cups frozen corn (or fresh for extra flavor)
• 1 ripe Hass avocado, mashed
• 2 thick slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread, toasted
• 1/3 cup queso fresco, crumbled
• 1/3 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/3 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 garlic clove (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika or cumin (optional)
• lime wedges to serve (optional)

1. Prepare the Corn

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Sauté the corn until tender, stirring occasionally. For extra depth, mix in smoked paprika, cumin, or finely chopped garlic. Sprinkle in salt and let the flavors develop for a smoky, slightly sweet taste.

2. Toast the Bread

While the corn is cooking, toast the bread until golden brown and firm. For a subtle garlic flavor, rub a peeled garlic clove over the toasted bread before adding toppings.

3. Mash the Avocado

In a bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky. Stir in salt and lime juice to enhance the flavor and prevent browning.

4. Assemble the Toast

Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread. Top with sautéed corn, crumbled queso fresco, and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper. You can drizzle it with a touch of olive oil for extra richness.

5. Customize & Serve

For added flavor and texture, try these toppings:

• Fresh cilantro for a bright, herby contrast
• Pickled onions for a tangy kick
• Cherry tomatoes for a juicy pop of sweetness
• Hot sauce or salsa verde for extra spice
• A poached or fried egg for protein and creaminess

Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for an optional citrus boost.
