Serves 4

Ingredients

Avocados
2 ripe
Lemon
1, juiced
Salt
1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
Pepper
1/4 teaspoon, or to taste
Bread
4 slices, toasted
Chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits.
  2. Using a spoon, scoop out the avocado flesh and place it in a medium-sized bowl.
  3. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the avocado.
  4. Using a fork, mash the avocado to your preferred consistency. Some like it chunky, while others prefer it smoother.
  5. Toast your bread slices to a golden brown. This adds a nice crunch and holds up well against the creamy avocado.
  6. Spread a generous amount of the smashed avocado mixture onto each toasted bread slice.
  7. Sprinkle with chili flakes for a kick of heat. This step is optional and can be adjusted according to your spice preference.
  8. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. Enjoy this as a filling breakfast or a light yet satisfying brunch.

Tips

  • 💡 Choose ripe avocados for the best flavor and texture. They should yield to gentle pressure but not be overly soft.
  • 💡 You can add other toppings as per your preference such as poached eggs, sliced tomatoes, or smoked salmon.
  • 💡 Try using a sourdough or whole grain bread for added flavor and nutrition.
