Ingredients for Avocado Toast

  • 1 ripe avocado (about 1/2 cup mashed)
  • 2 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole wheat, etc.)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

How to Make Avocado Toast

  1. Preheat your toaster to your desired setting.
  2. Toast two slices of bread until golden brown.
  3. While the bread is toasting, mash half an avocado (about 1/2 cup) in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt.
  4. Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto the toasted bread.
  5. Sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  6. (Optional) Add your favorite toppings, such as red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning, a fried egg, or sliced tomatoes.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
