Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 slices of whole grain bread
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Lemon juice (optional, about 1 teaspoon)
Instructions
- Prepare the avocado: Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until you reach your desired consistency, either smooth or slightly chunky.
- Season the avocado: Add salt, black pepper, and if desired, a squeeze of lemon juice to the mashed avocado and mix well to enhance flavor and prevent browning.
- Toast the bread: Toast the slices of whole grain bread to your preferred level of crispiness using a toaster or oven.
- Assemble the toast: Spread the seasoned mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
- Add optional toppings: Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the avocado spread for a bit of heat, if desired.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy your avocado toast fresh for the best texture and taste.
Notes
- For extra protein, consider topping with a poached or fried egg.
- Use lime juice instead of lemon juice for a slightly different tang.
- Add sliced tomatoes or radishes for additional freshness and crunch.
- To keep avocado from browning, serve immediately after preparing.
