2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
8 slices whole wheat bread
2 avocados, halved, seeded, peeled and sliced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add garlic to the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in kale until bright green and wilted, about 3-4 minutes; set aside.
