Avocado Toast
A delightful and simple dish that elevates bread with creamy avocado for a wholesome breakfast or brunch option.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 slice Whole-wheat bread Opt for a hearty slice that will provide a crunchy base.
- 0.5 medium Avocado Look for ripe avocados that yield slightly when pressed.
- 0.25 teaspoon Lime juice Adds a refreshing zest to brighten the dish.
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt Enhances the overall taste.
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper Adds a subtle warmth and depth.
- 1 tablespoon Red pepper flakes (optional) For a spicy twist, if desired.
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by placing your slice of whole-wheat bread into a toaster. Toast until it’s golden brown and crispy, which takes about 2-4 minutes.
- While your bread toasts, take half of a ripe avocado and scoop it into a bowl. Use a fork to mash it until it reaches a creamy consistency.
- Pour in the lime juice and sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine.
- Once the toast is ready, spread an even layer of the mashed avocado over the warm toast.
- If desired, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the top for added heat.
- Enjoy your avocado toast immediately while the bread is still warm and crispy.
Notes
For a decadent experience, consider topping your avocado toast with cherry tomatoes, balsamic glaze, or a poached egg. Store leftover mashed avocado in an airtight container to prevent browning.
