Avocado Toast (Serves 2)
- Prep time: 10 minutesCook time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 slices of good-quality bread (sourdough, whole grain, or country loaf)
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or lime juice)
- ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (optional)
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Optional Toppings

- Crumbled feta or goat cheese
- Sliced Olives
- How To
- Toast the bread until golden and crisp.
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
- Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mash with a fork until smooth or leave it slightly chunky, depending on your preference.
- Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the 4 slices of toast.
- Drizzle with olive oil, if using, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
- Add any desired toppings and serve immediately.
