Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 slices thick-cut sourdough bread

- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons sea salt flakes

Instructions
- Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. When the butter has melted, place the bread in the skillet and cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside.

Reviews
1100 calories for ONE SLICE of avocado toast. Typical Ree Drummond. 3 tablespoons of salted butter for 2 pieces of toast?! PLUS PESTO!
This is nuts.
I thought this was great even though I didn’t have pesto. I had bottled lime juice, toasted whole grain bread crispy and topped with butter, used light drizzle of balsamic vinegar and chopped up string cheese because that’s what I had. I think it would be outstanding with all right ingredients. I will definitely make it again. Thanks for another great recipe!
Delicious and surprisingly easy to make. I used frozen Texas toast on the stovetop, came out beautiful
YUM!!!!!! Made for dinner tonight as we saw it on the show this morning. My husband even loved it…. So much flavor.
Just watched Ree put this together on TV. Looks absolutely delishious, can’t wait to try it!!
