Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Toast
  • 4 slices slices of bread (sourdough or whole grain)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling)
For the Avocado Spread
  • 2 ripe avocados Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to pressure for the best texture.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
Optional Toppings
  • diced tomatoes
  • sliced radishes
  • poached eggs
  • microgreens

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by toasting your slices of bread until golden and crispy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes depending on your toaster or oven.
  2. While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocados in half. Remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
  3. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the avocado.
  4. Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado mixture until it's creamy, but leave it a bit chunky for the perfect texture.
  5. Spread the mashed avocado generously onto the warm, toasted bread slices.
  6. Drizzle with olive oil for added richness.
  7. Add your desired toppings like diced tomatoes, radishes, or a soft-boiled egg.
  8. Enjoy your Avocado Toast right away for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day. The avocado can brown quickly so it's best to serve as soon as it's prepared. Avoid freezing due to texture changes.
