What is Avocado Toast?

Basically, avocado toast is an open sandwich that consists of some sort of toasted bread that comes topped with mashed avocado and a few pinches of seasonings. Of course, in recent times, avocado toast has been re-invented and has included many other toppings in addition to mashed avocados, which has made it a true morning staple.

Ingredients for Avocado Toast

For the best avocado toast, it’s all about the toppings! It’s about whether you want to load up your toast or keep it really simple. Either way, it’ll be a quick fix in the morning.

Toast:

• Bread. I love using rustic bread such as sourdough, however, any type of bread works just fine!
• Avocados. I like to use organic Hass avocados.
• Maple syrup. A great natural sweetener.
• Red pepper flakes. For a little spice (Optional)
• Sea salt + black pepper.

Toppings

• Tomatoes. You can add as many tomatoes as will fit on your baking sheet. See my herb-roasted tomatoes recipe.
• Chickpeas. I like to use organic canned chickpeas. Just drain + rinse.
• Olive oil. Don’t skimp on the oil! It helps concentrate the tomato flavor and makes a nice jammy texture. Feel free to use your favorite high-quality EVOO. My fave tried and trusted brand is California Olive Ranch.
• Dried herbs. I like a mixture of Italian herbs like oregano, basil and parsley. But you can mix up the seasonings with other fresh or dried herbs. Thyme, rosemary, marjoram and tarragon are all delicious with tomatoes.
• Spices. Likewise, feel free to play with different spices in your roasted tomatoes. I like paprika, garlic powder and a pinch of red pepper flakes for a slight kick.

How to Make Mind-blowing Avocado Toast

In just a few short steps, you’ll have the most delicious breakfast toast —- Mind-blowing Avocado Toast that’ll satisfy each morning craving possible. Here’s how to make everything:

• First, roast the chickpeas and tomatoes by using two baking sheets, parchment paper, and a drizzle of olive oil and season with all herbs and seasonings.

• Then in a bowl, add the avocados (by removing the flesh from their pits and skin) along with lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper---mixing everything together until smooth and combined. Chunks are definitely OK!

• Toast your bread and mix together the spicy maple syrup in the meantime.

• Once everything is perfectly prepped, add dollops of mashed avocado to the tops of toast followed by roasted chickpeas and tomatoes and drizzle of spicy maple syrup.

Tips to Making the Perfect Avocado Toast

When it comes to making avocado toast, there are just a few small steps that you can take to ensure that it comes out perfectly every time.

Pick the Best Avocados from the Start

Picking the best avocados is by far the most important part of this entire toast. I love using Hass avocados, however, you can use other types. Always make sure that they are fully ripe but over-ripe (meaning it's extremely soft to the touch). For the best check---always look for avocados that have a good squeeze and isn't too hard or too mushy/soft.

Also, once open, if you find that there are brown bits or sections, be sure to cut those out and discard of them before you mash everything.

Your Bread Matters

Again, I mention the best types of bread when making avocado toast, however, understanding just how important it is to choose the right bread is a must! I always like using thin sliced bread that hold up well, which is why I often opt for rustic bread. You can read further down as I go more into this. In addition, be sure to always toast your bread for a nice crunch and a strong foundation to hold your toppings.

Mashed Avocado is Best

I know that avocado toast has it's many variations these days, however, I've come to conclude that mashed avocado on toast is a lot better (and easier to eat) than sliced avocado. Granted, you can always switch things up based on preference, but if I'm honest, I found that having my avocados mashed allowed for more real estate when adding additional toppings.

The Best Bread for Avocado Toast

A crusty rustic bread is perfect bread for this avocado toast. They are naturally thin, so the slices end up being perfectly sized. They are light and airy, so the toast is not too dense upon biting. Because of the large air pockets in the bread, they make for a lovely mouthfeel. Lastly, they have a heavy crust which helps to hold up toppings as well. Here’s the best breads:

• Sourdough
• Brioche
• Challah
• Ciabatta
• Semolina bread
• Baguettes

What Goes on Avocado Toast

Topping your avocado toast is an important step to me. While you can enjoy this avocado toast in its classic form without additional toppings, I just love adding more flavor to everything, especially my toast.

On avocado toast, you can add any of the following toppings which include protein, herbs, etc:

• Egg (fried or scrambled)
• Leafy greens (like kale, spinach, etc.)
• Fresh Herbs (like basil, cilantro, parsley, thyme, oregano, etc.)
• Jalapeños or chopped onions
• Roasted veggies (like tomatoes, garlic, bell peppers, etc.)
• Beans (like chickpeas, black beans, or pinto beans etc.)
• Radish
• Seafood (like salmon, shrimp, etc.)
• Meat (like candied bacon, shredded chicken, etc.)
• Lemon pepper seasoning or jerk seasoning

Ways to Best Serve Avocado Toast

Again, enjoying your avocado toast in the mornings, for lunch or dinner is an easy task. Once you've made the perfect avocado toast topped with your favorite ingredients, here are drinks that you can serve it with depending on the time of day:

• Dirty Chai Maple Iced Latte
• Iced Chai Tea Latte
• Southern Peach Iced Tea
• Jamaican Pineapple Smoothie
• Cleansing Sugar Detox Juice
• Citrus Pear Ginger Detox Tea 

How To Best Store Leftover Avocado?

To best store leftover avocado, follow these steps:

Keep the pit --- If you've only used half of the avocado, leave the pit in the unused half. The pit helps slow down the oxidation process, which prevents the avocado from browning too quickly.

Wrap it well ---Wrap the leftover avocado tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, ensuring that it's sealed properly to minimize exposure to air.

Use lemon juice --- If you're concerned about browning, you can brush the exposed flesh of the avocado with lemon juice before wrapping it. The acidity in the lemon juice helps slow down oxidation.

Store in an airtight container --- Place the wrapped avocado in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag to provide an extra layer of protection against air exposure.

Keep it cold --- Store the wrapped avocado in the refrigerator. The cool temperature helps slow down the ripening process and keeps the avocado fresh for longer.
