Avocado Toast
Avocado toast is a quick, nutritious dish of creamy avocado on toasted bread, customizable with toppings.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado: Choose an avocado that is firm yet gives slightly when you press it.
- 2 slices of bread: Options include whole grain sourdough, or gluten-free.
- Salt and pepper to taste: Essential for enhancing the flavor.
- Optional toppings: Consider adding proteins veggies, or sauces.
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Start by toasting your preferred bread until it reaches your desired level of crispiness. This creates a delightful crunch and helps keep the bread from getting mushy.
- Get the Avocado Ready: As the bread is toasting, slice the avocado in half, take out the pit, and scoop the inside into a bowl.
- Mash the Avocado: Use a fork to mash the avocado. You can choose to mash it until it’s smooth or keep it a bit chunky, based on your taste. Season with salt and pepper to taste. For added flavor, you can mix in a splash of lemon juice to prevent browning and enhance the taste.
- Assemble the Toast: Once the bread is toasted, spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice. Make sure to cover the entire surface for maximum flavor.
- Add Toppings: Feel free to add any of the toppings you prefer (suggested in the next section) to elevate your avocado toast.
