Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices favorite bread, toasted
- 1 small ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Pinch of kosher salt
Optional Toppings
- Cherry tomatoes
- Sautéed shiitake mushrooms
- Pickled onions
- Hemp seeds
- Fried or poached egg
Instructions
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
- Add the lemon juice and kosher salt.
- Mash with a fork until smooth or leave slightly chunky, depending on preference.
- Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the toasted bread.
- Add favorite toppings and serve immediately.
Notes
- Choose ripe avocados: The avocado should give slightly when gently pressed and mash easily with a fork.
- Keep it chunky or smooth: Both textures work well, so mash according to preference.
- Add lemon: The lemon juice adds brightness and helps slow the avocado from browning.
- Make it a meal: Add an egg, mushrooms, or hemp seeds for extra staying power.
- Mix up the toppings: Try cucumber, roasted vegetables, feta, shredded cheese, or fresh herbs for a different combination every time.
