How to Make Avocado Toast With Lemon

  2. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
  3. Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency. You can leave it chunky or mash it until completely smooth.
  4. Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto the toasted bread slices.
  5. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lemon over the avocado.
  6. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  7. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
