Ingredients
Avocado Mixture
- ½ small avocado
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Toast and Garnish
- 1 slice whole-grain bread, toasted
- ½ teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon flaky sea salt (such as Maldon) or crushed red pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the avocado mash: In a small bowl, combine ½ small avocado with ½ teaspoon lemon juice, ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt, and ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Gently mash the ingredients together using the back of a fork until you reach a creamy but slightly chunky consistency.
- Toast the bread: Toast 1 slice of whole-grain bread until it's golden and crispy, providing a sturdy base for the avocado mixture.
- Assemble the avocado toast: Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over the toasted bread. Drizzle ½ teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil over the top to add richness and enhance flavor.
- Add optional garnish: Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon of flaky sea salt, like Maldon, or crushed red pepper flakes for a touch of seasoning and a slight kick if desired.
Notes
- Choose a ripe avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure for the best texture.
- Use whole-grain bread for added fiber and nutrients.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Experiment with toppings like sliced tomatoes, radishes, or microgreens to customize your toast.
- To make it vegan or vegetarian friendly, ensure your bread does not contain animal products.
