AVOCADO TOAST



Avocado Toast image

Avocado toast is creamy, crisp and so satisfying. It's a delicious and simple breakfast, snack or light meal! It's best consumed immediately, since the avocado browns over time. Recipe as written yields 1 slice of basic avocado toast; multiply as necessary.

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 slice of bread (I like thick-sliced whole-grain bread best)
1/2 ripe avocado
Pinch of salt
Optional: Any of the extra toppings suggested in this post

Steps:

  • Toast your slice of bread until golden and firm.
  • Remove the pit from your avocado. Use a big spoon to scoop out the flesh. Put it in a bowl and mash it up with a fork until it's as smooth as you like it. Mix in a pinch of salt (about 1/8 teaspoon) and add more to taste, if desired.
  • Spread avocado on top of your toast. Enjoy as-is or top with any extras offered in this post (I highly recommend a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt, if you have it).

There are two secrets to these simple avocado toasts: rubbing the bread with garlic for just a hint of flavor and adding a pop of crunchy sea salt on top.

One 8-ounce ripe avocado, halved, pitted and peeled
Fine salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 slices whole grain or whole wheat bread
1 clove garlic, peeled and halved
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or unsalted butter, softened
Flaky sea salt, for serving
Crushed red pepper flakes, optional

Steps:

  • Mash the avocado with a fork in a shallow bowl until chunky. Season with fine salt and black pepper.
  • Toast the bread until browned and crisp. Lightly rub 1 side of each slice with the cut side of the garlic until fragrant; discard the garlic. Lightly brush the toasts with oil, and season with fine salt and pepper. Divide the mashed avocado evenly among the toasts, and top with more flaky sea salt, more black pepper and red pepper flakes if using.

AVOCADO TOAST



Avocado Toast image

It may seem silly to give a recipe for avocado toast, but there is an art to it, as with most things that are both simple and perfect. Here, you want to make sure of a few things: that the bread you use is sturdy and has some taste; that there's enough salt and citrus to bring out the avocado's flavor; and that you use a good olive oil to bring it all together. These garnishes, from the Australian café Two Hands in Manhattan, are tasty but unnecessary.

Time 5m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large slices crusty, chewy sourdough bread, preferably whole wheat
1 ripe avocado, halved, pit removed
Extra-virgin olive oil
Flaky salt and coarsely ground black pepper
Half a lemon or lime
Poached or fried eggs
Thinly sliced pickled or fresh red chiles, such as Fresno or cherry
Thinly sliced pickled red onions
Pepitas (pumpkin seeds) or sesame seeds, or both
Herbs, such as basil, cilantro, mint or baby arugula

Steps:

  • Toast the bread to your liking. Meanwhile, use a wide spoon to remove the avocado halves from the peel, keeping them in large pieces.
  • Drizzle the hot toast lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Let cool slightly, then place one avocado half on each slice of toast. Use the back of a fork to roughly mash the avocado into the bread, keeping it as chunky as possible.
  • Sprinkle with a little more salt, and pepper if desired. Squeeze the citrus over the top and add any garnishes. Cut each piece of toast in half if they're large and serve immediately.
