Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 slices whole-grain bread
  • 1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon olive oil for drizzling

Optional Toppings and Variations

  • Red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a spicy kick
  • Poached egg, smoked salmon, or chickpeas for protein boost
  • Fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, or chives
  • Drizzle of honey or sliced strawberries for a sweet twist
  • Toasted pumpkin seeds, nuts, or crispy bacon bits for crunch

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Bread: Select your favorite bread, ideally whole grain or sourdough, and toast it until golden and crunchy to create a warm, textured base that contrasts beautifully with the creamy avocado.
  2. Mash the Avocado: Cut a ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash gently with a fork, leaving some small chunks for texture. Add fresh lemon or lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper while mashing to combine flavors and prevent browning.
  3. Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread, ensuring every bite has creamy coverage.
  4. Add Toppings: Optionally enhance your toast with a drizzle of olive oil, chili flakes, sliced tomatoes, poached egg, fresh herbs, or other toppings to elevate flavor and nutrition according to your preference.
  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Avocado Toast fresh for the best texture and flavor experience, balancing warm toast with cool, creamy avocado.

Notes

  • Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for optimal creaminess.
  • Toast bread thoroughly to avoid sogginess and maintain crunch beneath the avocado layer.
  • Use fresh lemon or lime juice to brighten flavor and prevent the avocado from browning.
  • Keep some avocado chunks and add crunchy toppings to enhance mouthfeel and texture contrast.
  • Season generously with salt and pepper to amplify all natural flavors.
