Avocado Toast
Description
This Avocado Toast recipe begins by toasting sturdy multigrain bread to a warm, crisp texture. While still warm, the bread is rubbed with olive oil and halved garlic clove, imparting subtle garlic aroma. Fresh ripe avocado is halved, pitted, and scooped—part mashed on the bread and part sliced on top—to create creamy and smooth layers with slight chunkiness.
Sprinkling kosher or sea salt enhances the avocado's flavor, while lime or lemon juice adds brightness balancing its richness. Fresh cilantro adds herbaceous notes if used. The olive oil and garlic infusion on the warm toast complement the mild avocado taste, providing a fragrant base and slight crunch.
This preparation makes a versatile breakfast or snack that highlights fresh, simple ingredients with a pleasing balance of texture and flavor. Serving immediately ensures crisp bread and fresh avocado taste.
Ingredients
- 2 lices multigrain bread
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic cut in half
- 1 avocado large
- 2 lime or lemon, wedges
- kosher salt or sea salt flakes, to taste
- 1 tablespoon cilantro roughly chopped (optional, fresh
Instructions
- Toast the bread in your toaster. If you don't have a toaster, you can broil it on both sides for a minute or two.
- Immediately after the bread is done toasting, while it's still warm, drizzle each slice with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil and rub the oil in with the cut side of the garlic. You should smell the garlic as the warmth of the bread heats it.
- Cut the avocado in half with the peel still on. Remove the pit with a knife (carefully!).
- Scoop 1/4 of the avocado on each piece of bread. Mash on top of the bread with a fork.
- Slice the other half of the avocado while it's still in the peel. Scoop out the slices with a spoon and spread out evenly on the two slices of bread on top of the mashed avocado.
- Sprinkle each slice generously with salt and squeeze a wedge of lime or lemon onto each. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use fresh bakery-sliced multigrain bread or have it sliced at the store for best texture.
- Freeze extra bread for longer storage; frozen slices can be toasted directly from the freezer.
