Main Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado (slightly soft to gentle pressure)
- 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Sea salt, to taste
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
- Extra virgin olive oil (optional, for drizzling)
- Prepare Your Bread: Start by selecting your favorite type of bread and toast it until golden brown and crisp. This creates the perfect sturdy base that holds all the creamy goodness without getting soggy.
- Mash the Avocado: Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add fresh lemon juice, sea salt, and cracked black pepper, then mash it with a fork until smooth but still a bit chunky for texture.
- Spread the Avocado: Generously spread the mashed avocado mixture onto your toasted bread, spreading evenly edge to edge. This ensures every bite is loaded with flavor.
- Add Optional Toppings: Now’s the time to get creative with your favorite toppings or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for depth. Whether it’s herbs, seeds, or eggs, the choices are endless and exciting.
Notes
- Choose peak ripeness: Avoid underripe or overripe avocados to get the perfect creamy texture that spreads easily.
- Toast bread well: A crunchy base prevents sogginess and adds delightful contrast to the soft avocado.
- Use fresh lemon juice: This not only adds zing but also keeps your avocado vibrant and fresh-looking.
- Season generously: Don’t be shy with salt and pepper as they bring out the avocado’s rich flavor.
- Experiment with toppings: Layer different textures and flavors for a satisfying and personalized breakfast experience.
