Pan con Aguacate [Recipe + Video] Avocado Toast
Description
This avocado toast recipe features bread slices that are brushed with olive oil and grilled on both sides until crisp and slightly pressed flat. Meanwhile, red onion and red bell pepper are sautéed gently in olive oil over medium-low heat with apple vinegar added to develop a tangy and mildly sweet relish-like topping, with the onion taking on a pink hue.
After cooling, the toasted bread is topped with thin slices of ripe avocado arranged evenly, followed by the onion and pepper mixture. The finished toast is seasoned with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and sprinkled with chopped cilantro, adding a fresh herbal note to contrast the creamy avocado and tangy relish.
This dish is best served immediately to enjoy the contrast between warm toasted bread, soft avocado, and the cool, sharp onion preparation. The onion relish and bread can be prepared ahead and kept at room temperature, but slicing and assembling with avocado should be done just before serving to prevent browning.
