Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF or grill to medium-high (about 375ºF).
  2. Combine peas, oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper in a bowl. Spread out on a sheet pan and roast 20 to 25 minutes or until peas start to just brown and wilt. Set aside to cool completely.
  3. In a separate bowl, add avocados, remaining salt, lime juice, roasted peas, and peppers. Mash with a fork until well mixed with a chunky texture. Season to taste with more salt and pepper as needed.
  4. Grill bread slices 3 to 4 minutes per side or until toasted and marked on both sides.
  5. Spread a heaping scoop of avocado mixture on each slice of toast, cut in half and garnish with cheese.
