Instructions

1. Lightly toast bread. Brush lightly with olive oil and rub with garlic cloves.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot add the asparagus, and a pinch of salt and cook for about thirty seconds. Add the garlic and caraway, and cook another thirty seconds, or until the spears are a bright green. Remove from heat.
3. Give each piece of bread a generous slather of mashed avocado. Top that with a bit of arugula, a few asparagus spears, and a generous sprinkling of pepitas or seeds.
