Avocado Toast

Avocado toast is creamy, crisp and so satisfying. It's a delicious and simple breakfast, snack or light meal! It's best consumed immediately, since the avocado browns over time. Recipe as written yields 1 slice of basic avocado toast; multiply as necessary.

Ingredients

  • slice of bread (i like thick-sliced whole-grain bread best
    1
  • ripe avocado
    ½
  • salt
  • optional: any of the extra toppings suggested in this post

Directions

  1. 1

    Toast your slice of bread until golden and firm.

  2. 2

    Remove the pit from your avocado. Use a big spoon to scoop out the flesh. Put it in a bowl and mash it up with a fork until it’s as smooth as you like it. Mix in a pinch of salt (about ⅛ teaspoon) and add more to taste, if desired.

  3. 3

    Spread avocado on top of your toast. Enjoy as-is or top with any extras offered in this post (I highly recommend a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt, if you have it).
