Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 6 slices sourdough bread
Avocado Mixture
- 2 ripe avocados (make sure they’re perfectly ripe)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Optional Toppings
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Microgreens (optional)
- Cherry tomatoes (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the bread: Toast the sourdough slices until they are golden and crispy using your choice of a toaster, oven, or skillet. This creates a sturdy and flavorful base for the avocado spread.
- Prepare the avocado: While the bread is toasting, scoop the flesh of the ripe avocados into a bowl, ensuring they are perfectly ripe for creamy texture.
- Mash the avocado: Using a fork, mash the avocado to your desired texture—either smooth or slightly chunky.
- Add flavor: Stir in the lemon juice along with salt and pepper to taste, mixing well to combine and brighten the flavors.
- Spread on toast: Generously spread the prepared avocado mixture over the toasted sourdough slices, covering the surface evenly.
- Add toppings: If desired, sprinkle red pepper flakes, arrange microgreens, or add halved cherry tomatoes on top for extra flavor and color.
- Serve immediately: Serve the avocado toast immediately while the bread is still warm and crispy for the best texture and taste.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture.
- Adjust seasoning according to your preference.
- Optional toppings can be customized or omitted based on availability or dietary preference.
- Serve immediately to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
- For extra protein, add a poached or fried egg on top.
