AVOCADO TOAST

Avocado toast is creamy, crisp and so satisfying. It's a delicious and simple breakfast, snack or light meal! It's best consumed immediately, since the avocado browns over time. Recipe as written yields 1 slice of basic avocado toast; multiply as necessary.

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 slice of bread (I like thick-sliced whole-grain bread best)
1/2 ripe avocado
Pinch of salt
Optional: Any of the extra toppings suggested in this post

Steps:

  • Toast your slice of bread until golden and firm.
  • Remove the pit from your avocado. Use a big spoon to scoop out the flesh. Put it in a bowl and mash it up with a fork until it's as smooth as you like it. Mix in a pinch of salt (about 1/8 teaspoon) and add more to taste, if desired.
  • Spread avocado on top of your toast. Enjoy as-is or top with any extras offered in this post (I highly recommend a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt, if you have it).

AVOCADO TOAST

It may seem silly to give a recipe for avocado toast, but there is an art to it, as with most things that are both simple and perfect. Here, you want to make sure of a few things: that the bread you use is sturdy and has some taste; that there's enough salt and citrus to bring out the avocado's flavor; and that you use a good olive oil to bring it all together. These garnishes, from the Australian café Two Hands in Manhattan, are tasty but unnecessary.

Time 5m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large slices crusty, chewy sourdough bread, preferably whole wheat
1 ripe avocado, halved, pit removed
Extra-virgin olive oil
Flaky salt and coarsely ground black pepper
Half a lemon or lime
Poached or fried eggs
Thinly sliced pickled or fresh red chiles, such as Fresno or cherry
Thinly sliced pickled red onions
Pepitas (pumpkin seeds) or sesame seeds, or both
Herbs, such as basil, cilantro, mint or baby arugula

Steps:

  • Toast the bread to your liking. Meanwhile, use a wide spoon to remove the avocado halves from the peel, keeping them in large pieces.
  • Drizzle the hot toast lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Let cool slightly, then place one avocado half on each slice of toast. Use the back of a fork to roughly mash the avocado into the bread, keeping it as chunky as possible.
  • Sprinkle with a little more salt, and pepper if desired. Squeeze the citrus over the top and add any garnishes. Cut each piece of toast in half if they're large and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have bruises or blemishes.
  • Toast the bread to your liking: You can toast the bread in a toaster, oven, or on a skillet. Toasting the bread will help it to hold up better under the weight of the avocado and toppings.
  • Use good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe. It has a fruity flavor that will complement the other ingredients.
  • Season the avocado toast generously: Salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes are all essential seasonings for avocado toast. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder, to taste.
  • Don't overload the toast: It's important to find a balance of ingredients so that the toast is not too heavy or soggy. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1/2 of an avocado per slice of toast.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or basil, add a pop of color and flavor to avocado toast. You can also add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice for extra brightness.

Conclusion:

Avocado toast is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its creamy avocado, tangy pickled red onions, and fresh cilantro, this recipe is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this avocado toast recipe a try!
