Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of sea salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Optional: 1 large egg (for avocado toast with egg)
- Optional: 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and crisp.
- While the bread toasts, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
- Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the avocado.
- Use a fork to mash the avocado until you reach your desired creamy consistency. For a smoother mash, press firmly against the bowl sides.
- Spread the creamy avocado mash evenly over the two slices of toast.
- If using an egg, prepare one fried or poached egg per serving and place it on top of the avocado.
- Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the top, if desired. Serve immediately for a quick breakfast or snack.
Notes
- For the creamiest mash, select an avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure.
- If you prefer a minimalist avocado toast, skip the optional toppings and focus only on the lemon, salt, and pepper.
- To make this a gourmet avocado toast, add thinly sliced radishes or a drizzle of high-quality olive oil after seasoning.
