Avocado Toast
Avocado toast consists of toast and fresh avocado and is commonly served for breakfast or brunch. It has become popularized in the last decade as a healthy, quick-to-make meal that is tasty and filling.
This has since been taken to a new level where a variety of additional toppings, spices, and flavors have been added to enhance the flavor. The beauty of this recipe is that it can be customized to work for you and your liking.
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Avocados – You will need fresh ripe avocados.
- Bread – Any good artisan bread or sourdough bread works great for this.
How to Make Avocado Toast
Toast your bread in the oven at 400° for 4 to 5 minutes or in a toaster until lightly browned and crusty.
You can either smash the avocados or thinly slice them when serving them.
There are many things to add on top of the avocado after spreading it on top of the toast. A few things to help enhance the flavor would be adding a hint of lemon juice, 1 to 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Variations
Adding additional ingredients, you can take a simple avocado toast to the next level. Here are some of my favorite things to add to it:
- Smoked Salmon
- Tomatoes
- Burrata
- Hard-Boiled Eggs
- Sumac
- Sesame Seeds
- Red Pepper Flakes
- Roasted Garlic
Make-Ahead and Storage
Make-Ahead: These are meant to be eaten as soon as you are done making them.
How to Store: You can store these if you keep the toast separate from the avocado. Cover and keep the toast at room temperature for up to 3 days. For the avocado, mix with some fresh lemon juice, cover, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Chef Notes + Tips
- Any bread can be used in this recipe.
- You will know when an avocado is ripe when it yields to the pressure while gently squeezing it. Another way to tell is if the top stem removes with ease using your fingers.
