Servings: 2
Ingredients:
- 2 slices of bread (I used wheat or sourdough)
- 1 medium avocado peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks (I typically use Haas avocados but other varieties will work)
- 5 teaspoons olive oil, divided, plus more for garnish if desired
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh herb, red pepper flakes, or sesame seeds
Instructions:
- Brush 2 teaspoons of olive oil over the slices of bread. Toast the bread.
- Place the avocado, remaining 3 teaspoons of olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper in a bowl. Mash into a course paste.
- Spread the avocado mixture over the toast. Garnish as desired with olive oil, salt, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, or herbs. Serve immediately.
This avocado toast recipe is so adaptable. Get creative by adding everything bagel seasoning, Cajun seasoning, Tagine chili lime seasoning, and more!
Tip:
If you need to make the avocado mixture in advance, add a thin layer of olive oil or lemon juice on top to prevent the avocado from browning. Stir the lemon juice or olive oil into the mix right before serving.
