Instructions
- Begin by toasting the whole grain bread in a toaster or on a skillet until it is golden brown and crispy.
- While the bread is toasting, halve the ripe avocado and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Add the fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the avocado. Use a fork to mash the avocado until it reaches your desired creaminess. You can leave it a bit chunky for texture or mash it smooth.
- Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture evenly over each slice.
- Top each slice with a handful of microgreens, allowing their freshness to shine through.
- Finally, drizzle a little olive oil over the top for added richness and flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious and delicious avocado toast!
Tips
- For added flavor, consider topping your avocado toast with sliced radishes, cherry tomatoes, or a sprinkle of chili flakes for a kick.
- If you prefer a more substantial meal, add a poached or fried egg on top for extra protein.
- Experiment with different types of bread, such as sourdough or rye, for a unique flavor and texture.
