It can be eaten alone or jazzed up with toppings such as cherry tomatoes, radishes, crumbled feta cheese and even a poached egg to make it the ideal breakfast option without compromising on taste. This meal is not only tasty but also an incredibly nutritious source of good fats and vitamins

How to Make the Ultimate Avocado Toast

Select the Right Avocado:

Pick avocados that give a bit when you gently press them for the smoothest texture.

Opt for Quality Bread:

Find a strong, tasty bread like sourdough or multigrain. The beefiest and most foundational slice you can score.

Toast to Perfection:

Place bread in the toaster and toast on either side until they are golden brown and crispy. Tip: before toasting light olive oil over the top for flavor ~Kim

Season Generously:

Add salt, pepper and a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice. These help bring out the avocado flavor more, so it doesn’t taste too plain.

Mash with Care:

Pit and skin the avocado then mash it to your desired consistency. Smooth or chunky, you make the call! Do not over mash, so some texture is maintained.

Get Creative with Toppings:

Get creative with some crumbled feta, sliced radishes or top the greens off with a poached egg and cherry tomatoes.

Use Fresh Herbs and Spices:

Top with fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley) and spices of choice (this could be chili flakes, togarashi spice blend + flaked sea salt OR everything bagel seasoning-work these easily into the caesar dressing); for more dimension.

Garnish for Appeal:

Top with Fresh sprouts or microgreens for color and crunch.

Serve Immediately:

Eat your toast asap for that warm, crusty goodness.

Pair Thoughtfully:

Add a coffee or fresh juice to pair perfectly with your avocado on toast brunch.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 slices of bread (sourdough, whole grain, or your choice)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice (optional)
• Olive oil (optional)
• 2 eggs (poached, fried, or scrambled)
• Optional toppings: cherry tomatoes, radishes, feta cheese, red pepper flakes, fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley)

Instructions:

1. Toast the Bread:
   • Begin by toasting your bread slices to your desired level of crispiness using a toaster or a skillet.
2. Prepare the Avocado:
   • Cut the ripe avocado in half. Remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
3. Mash the Avocado:
   • Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the avocado to your preferred consistency—smooth or chunky.
4. Season the Avocado:
   • Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice to the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
5. Cook the Eggs:
   • For Poached Eggs:
     • Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the water. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
   • For Fried Eggs:
     • Heat a little olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the whites are set. Flip if you prefer over-easy eggs.
   • For Scrambled Eggs:
     • Whisk the eggs in a bowl and cook them in a lightly greased skillet over medium heat, stirring gently until set.
6. Spread the Avocado:
   • Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the smashed avocado on each slice.
7. Top with Eggs:
   • Place one cooked egg on top of each slice of avocado toast.
8. Add Optional Toppings:
   • If desired, add cherry tomatoes, sliced radishes, crumbled feta, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
9. Serve:
   • Enjoy your Smashed Avocado on Toast with Egg immediately while the toast is warm!
