Description
A creamy, customizable breakfast staple made with ripe avocado, zesty lemon juice, and golden toasted sourdough. Quick to make, easy to adapt, and perfect for rushed mornings or leisurely brunches.
Ingredients
2 slices bread
1 ripe avocado
1 tsp acid (lemon or lime juice)
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Optional toppings (e.g., feta cheese, olive oil, poached egg)
Instructions
Place bread on a wire rack in a cold oven
Heat oven to 350°F (175°C) and toast bread until golden
Halve avocado, remove pit, and scoop flesh into a mixing bowl using a fork
Mash avocado with flat tines to retain slight chunkiness
Drizzle with lemon juice first to prevent browning
Sprinkle salt evenly, then finish with pepper
Spread avocado mixture on toast using a silicone spatula
Add optional toppings like feta cheese or olive oil before serving
Notes
Use bakery-fresh sourdough for optimal texture.
Seasonal variations: red pepper flakes in winter, cherry tomatoes in summer.
For a hotter option, toast bread for 1-2 minutes longer.
Avoid over-mashing avocado to maintain texture.
