Avocado Toast
Description
This preparation begins by mashing peeled, seeded avocados by hand, optionally with lemon juice to slow browning and add subtle acidity. The creamy avocado spread coats toasted gluten-free bread, seasoned with salt, black pepper, and a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning for savory contrast. The mash is deliberately kept somewhat chunky for texture.
The toast serves as a versatile base for various toppings such as sliced cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta, eggs, smoked salmon with dill and honey mustard, or vegetables including cucumber and radishes. The method emphasizes using ripe avocados for optimal softness and flavor and recommends seasoning adjustments after mashing.
For a hint of garlic, raw peeled garlic cloves can be rubbed on the toast before spreading the avocado. The recipe suits breakfast, snack, or light lunch occasions depending on additions.
