Heritage Avocado Toast is a delightful twist on the classic, combining creamy avocado with the wholesome goodness of whole-grain bread. Perfect for breakfast, a light lunch, or a snack, it's quick to make and loaded with flavors that pop!
Whole-grain bread: Provides a hearty, nutty base that adds texture and a nutritional boost with its fiber content.
Ripe avocado: The star of the show, offering creaminess and healthy fats. Make sure it's ripe for the best flavor and texture.
Lemon juice: Adds a zesty brightness that balances the richness of the avocado.
Salt and pepper: Essential for seasoning, bringing out the natural flavors of the avocado.
Olive oil: A drizzle adds a touch of richness and helps carry the flavors.
Red pepper flakes (optional): For a hint of heat that adds a delightful kick to each bite.
This avocado toast pairs wonderfully with a side of fresh fruit or a mixed greens salad for a balanced meal. To elevate your breakfast, consider serving it alongside a soft-boiled egg. For a heartier option, add smoked salmon or a slice of crispy bacon on top.
Start by toasting two slices of whole-grain bread to your preferred level of crunchiness. While the bread is toasting, grab a ripe avocado, cut it in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper. Give it a good mash with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Once your toast is ready, spread the mashed avocado generously over each slice. Drizzle a bit of olive oil on top for added richness. If you're feeling adventurous, sprinkle some red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect blend of flavors and textures.
