Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits.
- Using a spoon, scoop out the avocado flesh and place it in a medium-sized bowl.
- Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the avocado.
- Using a fork, mash the avocado to your preferred consistency. Some like it chunky, while others prefer it smoother.
- Toast your bread slices to a golden brown. This adds a nice crunch and holds up well against the creamy avocado.
- Spread a generous amount of the smashed avocado mixture onto each toasted bread slice.
- Sprinkle with chili flakes for a kick of heat. This step is optional and can be adjusted according to your spice preference.
- 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.
