Recipe: Delicious Avocado Toast
Ingredients
- 1 perfectly ripe avocado
- 2 hearty slices of whole grain bread
- 1 tablespoon of the finest olive oil you have
- Freshly squeezed juice from half a lemon
- A generous pinch of salt and pepper
- Add-ons like juicy cherry tomatoes, a dash of red pepper flakes, or a luscious poached egg
Instructions
Toast the Bread
Pop the bread slices in your toaster or under the grill until they’re golden brown and crispy. This step is essential for that delightful crunch.
Prepare the Avocado
While the bread is doing its thing, slice your avocado in half, and gently remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh with a spoon right into a small bowl. Using a fork, mash it up until you achieve the texture you love—silky smooth or with a few tasty chunks.
Season the Avocado
Drizzle over the olive oil and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Stir it well, making sure every bit of avocado is coated with the citrusy, seasoned goodness.
Assemble the Avocado Toast
Generously spread the seasoned avocado mash over your warm, toasted bread. Now for the fun part—top with your choice of extras. I personally can’t resist a few cherry tomatoes, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, and if I’m feeling fancy, a golden poached egg.
Serve and Enjoy
Your vibrant, photo-ready avocado toast is now prepped to be devoured. Enjoy it as breakfast, lunch, or even a mid-afternoon snack. Each bite is creamy heaven!
Presentation Tips
To make your avocado toast even more enticing, serve it on a rustic wooden board or a colorful plate. The green of the avocado against a dark bread really pops! Add a slice of lemon on the side for extra zing, and maybe throw in some edible flowers for a splash of color. It’s not just food; it’s art!
