Ingredients
Avocado Spread
- ½ ripe avocado
- Pinch of salt (about ⅛ teaspoon, plus more to taste)
Toast
- 1 slice thick-sliced whole-grain bread
Optional Toppings
- Flaky sea salt
- Other optional toppings as desired (e.g. chili flakes, olive oil, sliced tomatoes)
Instructions
- Toast the bread: Toast your slice of thick-sliced whole-grain bread until it becomes golden and firm, ensuring a crispy base for the avocado spread.
- Prepare the avocado: Remove the pit from the ripe avocado. Using a large spoon, scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until it reaches your desired smoothness. Stir in a pinch of salt (approximately ⅛ teaspoon) and adjust seasoning to taste.
- Assemble the toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread. Enjoy it plain or add optional toppings like a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt to enhance the flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados for the best creamy texture.
- Whole-grain bread adds more fiber and nutrients compared to white bread.
- Optional toppings can include chili flakes, olive oil drizzle, sliced tomatoes, radishes, or fresh herbs.
- For a vegan and gluten-free diet, verify that the bread used complies with dietary restrictions.
- Adjust salt to your personal taste and dietary needs.
