A Brunch Worthy Avocado Toast
I think of brunch and automatically think, mimosas! Right after that I think avocado toast! It’s no doubt that all three go hand in hand with one another.
This recipe is so easy, I almost feel like I don’t really need to explain it. However there are a few factors that I think help elevate an avocado toast from just any other toast. I like to make sure I use freshly baked bread, the one I used in this recipe I found in my local grocery store and it had little bits of garlic baked into it. My avocados were just slightly over ripe making it really easy to spread a thick lemony layer over my bread. If I had any, I would have added crumbles of a salty cheese like a feta or cotija, this would have really brought all the flavors together. Either way make it your own, use what you have and don’t forget to have a glass of mimosa or two along with it.
I like to use the ingredients I already have on had, I especially like to top my toast with fresh cilantro for that refreshing bite.
Prep time: 10 min Cook time: 10 min
Yields: 4 toast
Ingredients:
4 hass avocados (slightly over ripe)
1 whole lemon
1 teaspoon of kosher salt
Fresh baked bread of choice
1 teaspoon of black pepper
Chili flakes to taste
1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes cut in half
Fresh picked Cilantro
Directions:
Begin by cutting baked bread into 1 1/2 inch thick slices.
Toast in the over or in a toasted until golden brown.
In a bowl combine the avocados with the lemon, salt, pepper and chili flakes. Smash together with the back of a fork until desired consistency.
Season the tomatoes with a pinch of salt and olive oil.
Once the bread is toasted spread a thick layer of the avocado covering most of the bread.
Add the tomatoes , and cilantro to finish. (I like to add more chili flakes and crack pepper at this point as well.) Enjoy!
