Recipe File: Avocado Toast

Looking for an easy breakfast or a simple snack to get you through the day?

Try avocado toast! (Yes, I’ve hopped onto the avocado toast trend and it’s totally okay). Not only does this quick meal take 5 minutes or less to make, but it’s also healthy and delicious.

What You’ll Need:

• A really good and thick slice of bread. It’s all in the bread for avocado toast. Choose a thick piece of toast (a nutty whole grain is preferred, but a simple sourdough works great, too!) as the foundation.
• Ripe avocados. The amount of avocados you use depend on how much avocado you want on your toast. I used half an avocado for one slice of sourdough for a semi-thin layer.
• Lemon juice
• Olive oil
• A pinch of salt and pepper
• A shake of red crushed pepper

Steps:

1. Toast your bread! You can either choose to toast your bread first, then drizzle a little olive oil over it, or toast your bread in the toaster oven with a drizzle of olive oil.
2. Mash your avocado(s) in a small bowl with 2-3 drops of lemon juice (for half an avocado) and a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. After your bread is toasted, spread your avocado mixture on top.
4. Shake a little red crushed pepper (again, to your liking) to finish it off.
5. Enjoy!
