Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 slice of thick-sliced whole-grain bread
- ½ ripe avocado
- Pinch of salt (about ⅛ teaspoon)
Optional Toppings
- Flaky sea salt
- Additional toppings as desired (e.g., cherry tomatoes, red pepper flakes, olive oil drizzle, microgreens)
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast your slice of bread until it is golden and firm to the touch, creating a sturdy base that won't become soggy from the avocado.
- Prepare the Avocado: Remove the pit from the ripe avocado and scoop the flesh into a bowl using a large spoon. Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your preferred smoothness. Stir in about ⅛ teaspoon of salt, and adjust to taste.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread. Enjoy it plain or add optional toppings such as a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt to enhance flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- Whole-grain bread adds extra fiber and nutrients compared to white bread.
- Optional toppings can be customized to suit taste preferences, including spices, seeds, or a drizzle of olive oil.
- For a vegan and vegetarian-friendly snack.
