How to Make Avocado Toast

  1. Preheat your toaster to your desired setting.

  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

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
