Avocado Toast

Hi!  Trendsetter here.  I know.  I know.  Avocado toast is so trendy and annoying, but if you haven’t had it yet or are wondering, wtf it is, now is your time to shine, grasshopper.  This simple, inexpensive, and filling meal/side will make your tummy, significant other, child, and bank account happy!

Since avocado has that “good fat” in it, I don’t feel bad eating this a few times a week.  Full disclosure – I’m like a kid in a candy store when my avocados are ripe.  I do the happy dance with my son (to the tune of “Push It” by Salt-n-Pepa – this is 100% a true story and have video to prove it)!  

I know avocado toast seems so simple and a recipe isn’t technically needed, but it’s a fun food and I may as well hop on the bandwagon!  

I make a few different variations and honestly, you use any ingredient to make it your own.  Here are 2 different types of toppings I love:

Avocado Toast – 2 ways

• 1 Ripe avocado (This will make 4 slices of toast.)
• Bread, toasted (I love a grainy, seedy bread, but use your fave bread!  You aren’t going to insult me!)
• Various toppings: Feta, cilantro, egg – cooked ANY way, onion, sriracha, roasted pepper, sliced tomato, radishes, ANYTHING – except like peanut butter or milk or something doesn’t go with avocado at all.  Sickening.

1. Toast your bread and spread 1/4 of the avocado on each slice.

The picture above has Feta, salt, pepper and an olive oil drizzle on it. I usually will put cilantro on this combo but it’s monsooning outside which means I’m not running between the raindrops to grab some out of the garden.  Nope.  Not happening.  I shall go without…

Perhaps my fave way to prepare it is in the picture above: an over-medium fried egg with the oh-so-lovely sriracha drizzled over it.  😍  Simple yet a flavor combo made by the gods themselves!  

Again, I totally know that a “recipe” for avocado toast is kind of lame, but this may open your eyes to a new way to use the rest of the avocado that you have hanging around before it gets black and all gross!  

Happy Cooking (and eating)!
