Learn the simple technique for achieving perfectly creamy mashed avocado and discover five quick, healthy topping ideas for your best avocado toast breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices whole grain bread
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Optional: Everything bagel seasoning for topping

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and crisp.
  2. While the bread toasts, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
  3. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the avocado.
  4. Use a fork to thoroughly mash the avocado until you reach your desired creamy texture. For the creamiest mash, press the avocado against the side of the bowl while mashing.
  5. Spread the creamy avocado mash evenly over the two slices of toast.
  6. Apply your chosen gourmet topping variation immediately before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra satisfying breakfast meal, add a fried egg on top of the avocado layer.
  • If your avocado is slightly firm, let it sit at room temperature for an hour before preparing for easier mashing.
  • To achieve a minimalist avocado toast look, use only flaky sea salt and a drizzle of good olive oil as your topping.
  • This recipe is naturally vegetarian and vegan if you skip any dairy or egg toppings.
