Ingredients
Scale
- 2 to 4 slices bread (toasted)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 lemon (for squeezing)
- Sea salt
- Cherry tomatoes (optional)
- Radish slices (optional)
- Feta cheese (optional)
- Arugula (optional)
Instructions
- Avocado Preparation: Halve ripe avocado lengthwise and extract pit with a gentle twist, creating uniform crosshatch patterns within the flesh to facilitate easy scooping.
- Seasoning Enhancement: Splash fresh lemon juice over avocado cubes to prevent oxidation, then dust with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, amplifying the fruit’s inherent creamy profile.
- Bread Transformation: Carefully toast artisan bread slices until achieving a perfectly golden-brown exterior with a tender interior, ensuring a crisp foundation for the avocado spread.
- Composition and Finishing: Transfer toasted bread to serving plate, scoop seasoned avocado onto warm surface, and delicately mash with a fork to create a rustic, textured layer that blankets the entire slice.
- Personalization: Elevate the toast with optional garnishes such as vibrant red pepper flakes, delicate microgreens, or a luxurious drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to introduce additional flavor dimensions and visual appeal.
Notes
- Prevent Avocado Browning: Lemon juice stops oxidation, keeping your avocado fresh and vibrant with a zesty tang.
- Master Knife Technique: Create uniform avocado cubes by carefully crosshatching inside the skin for perfect, even pieces.
- Choose Right Bread: Select artisan or sourdough bread for optimal texture – crispy outside, soft inside enhances overall toast experience.
- Elevate Flavor Profile: Sea salt and black pepper transform simple ingredients, unlocking rich, complex taste dimensions in your avocado toast.
