Top whole-grain toast with mashed avocado, a sprinkle of salt, and optional toppings like sliced tomatoes, poached eggs, or everything bagel seasoning.
- 2 slices of whole-grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: sliced tomatoes, poached eggs, red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning, microgreens, feta cheese, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze
Toast the Bread: Toast the slices of whole-grain bread until golden brown and crispy. You can use a toaster or toast them in a skillet with a little olive oil for extra flavor.
Prepare the Avocado: Cut the ripe avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto the toasted bread slices. Use the back of a spoon to create a smooth layer.
Add Toppings (Optional): Get creative with your toppings! Arrange sliced tomatoes, poached eggs, red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning, microgreens, feta cheese, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze on top of the avocado toast.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the avocado toast immediately while the bread is still warm. Enjoy it as a delicious and nutritious breakfast, brunch, or snack!
Recipe Variations:
- Egg-In-The-Hole Avocado Toast: Cut a hole in the center of the bread slice and place it in a skillet. Crack an egg into the hole and cook until the egg is set. Serve with mashed avocado on top.
- Smashed Avocado Toast: Instead of spreading mashed avocado, simply smash sliced avocado onto the toast with a fork for a chunkier texture.
- Sweet Avocado Toast: Top the avocado toast with sliced strawberries, honey, and a sprinkle of sea salt for a sweet twist.
