Ingredients
Avocado Mixture
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
Toast Base
- 2 thick slices artisan bread or whole grain bread
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil for toasting
Toppings
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- Fresh parsley or microgreens
- Crumbled feta cheese optional
- Extra black pepper
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
Step 1: Toast the Bread
- Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crispy.
- You can use a toaster or toast them in a skillet with a little butter or olive oil for extra flavor.
- The bread should be crisp enough to hold the avocado mixture without becoming soggy.
Step 2: Prepare the Avocado Mixture
- Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits.
- Scoop the avocado into a bowl and mash gently with a fork.
- Add lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Mix until creamy but still slightly chunky.
- That chunky texture makes the avocado toast feel more homemade and fresh.
Step 3: Assemble the Toast
- Spread the avocado mixture generously over the toasted bread.
- Make sure every corner gets covered.
Step 4: Add Toppings
- Top with cherry tomatoes, fresh herbs, and feta cheese if using.
- Sprinkle extra black pepper on top.
Step 5: Serve Immediately
- Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
- Fresh avocado toast always tastes best right away while the bread is still crispy.
