A quick and simple avocado toast recipe perfect for a nutritious breakfast or snack, featuring mashed avocado seasoned with fresh lemon juice and topped with olive oil and optional spices on toasted bread.

Ingredients

Avocado Spread

  • 1 large avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, freshly cracked, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste (optional)
  • Sesame seeds, to taste (optional)

Toast

  • 2 slices bread (multi-grain, sourdough, wheat, or gluten-free), toasted
  • 2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Mash Avocado: In a small bowl, gently mash the peeled and pitted avocado with 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice until creamy but still slightly chunky for texture.
  2. Spread on Toast: Evenly divide and spread the mashed avocado mixture across the two slices of toasted bread, covering the surface.
  3. Add Olive Oil and Season: Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil over each slice of avocado toast, then sprinkle sea salt, freshly cracked black pepper, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds as desired for added flavor and texture.
  4. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the avocado toast right away for the best taste and texture, while the bread remains crisp and the avocado fresh.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocado for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
  • Try different bread types like sourdough, multi-grain, or gluten-free to suit your preference.
  • Adjust seasoning to your taste, especially the optional red pepper flakes and sesame seeds for extra flavor.
  • Consume immediately, as avocado can brown quickly when exposed to air.
