Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 slices of your favorite bread
- 1 garlic cloves (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
- red pepper flakes
- lemon juice
- olive oil
- Toppings (optional): sliced tomatoes, poached or fried eggs, feta cheese, arugula, smoked salmon, or whatever you prefer
Instructions
- Start by toasting your bread. You can use a toaster, toaster oven, or stovetop. If you're using a toaster oven or stovetop, you can add a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to the bread before toasting for extra flavor.
- While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado until it reaches your desired level of creaminess. If you like it chunky, leave some small chunks.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the mashed avocado. You can also add a dash of lemon juice for a bright, tangy flavor. If you like some heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes on top.
- For an extra layer of flavor, you can cut a garlic clove in half and rub it over the toasted bread. This will give the toast a subtle garlic flavor.
- Once the bread is toasted to your liking, spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice.
- Garnish your avocado toast with additional salt, pepper, or any other seasonings you like. You can also drizzle a bit of olive oil on top for extra richness.
- Avocado toast is best enjoyed fresh and warm. Serve it immediately and savor the creamy avocado goodness.Feel free to customize your avocado toast to your taste by adding your favorite toppings or seasonings. It's a versatile dish that can be as simple or as elaborate as you want it to be.
