Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 slices whole grain bread
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

Optional Toppings

  • Cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • Red chili flakes
  • Feta cheese, crumbled
  • Microgreens or fresh herbs (cilantro, basil, dill)
  • Sliced jalapeños
  • Poached or fried egg
  • Toasted seeds or nuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocado: Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash gently with a fork to your preferred texture—smooth or slightly chunky.
  2. Add Seasonings: Mix in a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a pinch of sea salt, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil into the mashed avocado. This enhances the flavor and keeps it fresh and vibrant.
  3. Toast the Bread: While preparing the avocado, toast your choice of whole grain bread slices until they are crisp and golden brown to provide a sturdy, flavorful base.
  4. Assemble the Toast: Spread the seasoned avocado evenly onto the toasted bread slices. Be generous to maximize flavor and texture contrast.
  5. Add Toppings (Optional): Customize your Avocado Toast with desired toppings such as sliced tomatoes, sprouts, crumbled feta, chili flakes, or a poached egg for extra flavor and nutrition.

Notes

  • Choose Ripe Avocados: Avoid underripe fruit for better creaminess and taste.
  • Toast Bread Well: A crunchy base prevents sogginess and adds satisfying texture.
  • Lemon Juice is Key: It enhances flavor and slows browning of avocado.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh toppings and high-quality olive oil elevate the dish.
  • Don’t Over-Mash: Leaving small avocado chunks adds delightful texture.
