Ingredients

  • 2 slices bread of choice

  • 1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fried or poached eggs (optional topping)
  • Cherry tomatoes (optional topping)
  • Crumbled feta cheese (optional topping)
  • Microgreens or arugula (optional topping)
  • Smoked salmon (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crisp.
  2. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
  3. Add the lemon or lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Mash the avocado with a fork until creamy or leave slightly chunky if preferred.
  5. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread.
  6. Drizzle with olive oil if desired.
  7. Add your favorite toppings and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if using.

Notes

  • Sourdough, rye, whole grain, or artisan bread all work well.
  • Lemon or lime juice helps prevent the avocado from browning.
  • Top with eggs, tomatoes, feta, or smoked salmon for extra flavor and protein.
  • Hot sauce or chili oil adds a spicy kick.
  • Fresh herbs like cilantro or basil brighten the flavor.
  • Store mashed avocado separately for up to 1 day with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface.
  • Toast the bread fresh before serving for the best texture.
