Avocado Toast
Creamy mashed avocado on crisp toasted bread, finished with flaky salt and a squeeze of lemon. Ready in under 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 largeslices sourdough or thick-cut bread
- 2ripe avocados(halved and pitted)
- 1 tbspfresh lemon juice
- 1 pinchkosher salt
- 1 pinchblack pepper(freshly ground)
- ¼ tspred pepper flakes(optional)
- ½ tspflaky sea salt(such as Maldon, for finishing)
Method
- 01
Toast the 2 large slices of sourdough bread until deep golden and crisp all the way through — a pale toast will go soggy under the avocado.
- 02
Scoop the flesh of the 2 ripe avocados into a bowl. Add the 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 pinch kosher salt, and 1 pinch black pepper.
- 03
Mash with a fork to your preferred texture — a few lumps give better body than a completely smooth paste.
- 04
Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice as needed before spreading.
- 05
Divide the mashed avocado evenly between the 2 toasted slices and spread to the edges.
- 06
Finish each slice with a pinch of flaky sea salt and the ¼ tsp red pepper flakes if using. Serve immediately.
