The Best Avocado Toast You'll Ever Have

In my old age, I’ve learned a few things: how to trapeze, how to argue fairly and the genius of avocado toast. Avocado toast is delicious, healthy and takes like three seconds to make. It’s the perfect breakfast or lunch, and we’ve even had it for dinner along with tomato soup or scrambled eggs. Lucky for us, the fabulous Jessica from How Sweet It Is agreed to share the perfect recipe…

The Best Avocado Toast You’ll Ever Have
By Jessica from How Sweet It Is

There’s one thing I love to have for any meal of the day, and that’s super crusty, seedy toast layered with smashed avocado. In a perfect world, I would eat this three times daily, with my snacks in between consisting of a form of chocolate, peanut butter and bacon.

While I’m not very picky about how the avocado gets on my toast (leftover guac, anyone?), with much experimentation I have discovered my favorite simple combination. With a few sprinkles of sea salt and freshly grated pepper, followed by a quick spritz of lime, this is a go-to snack that makes its way into my kitchen each and every week. Enjoy!

Recipe: Avocado Toast
Serves two

You’ll need:
4 pieces of multigrain bread, sliced thick
1 perfectly ripe avocado
1 pinch of sea salt
1 pinch of freshly grated black pepper
1 slice of lime

Scoop the avocado out of the skin into a bowl. Sprinkle on salt and pepper, then spritz with one slice of a juicy lime. Mash with a fork (mash well to create a smooth spread, or mash just a few times to create a chunky spread). Toast your bread to perfection, then spread the avocado on top of each slice.

Thank you, Jessica! Who wants some right now?

P.S. More best recipes, including chocolate banana bread and chocolate chunk cookies.

I start every morning with avocado toast…salt and pepper, sprinkled with lemon juice, topped with a fried egg. If you have some extra time, make the toast in your cast iron, I think the extra butter used on each side makes it extra good :) I’ve also been switching up my toast and doing smashed avocado, salt and pepper, thinly sliced red onion, and a drizzle of honey…life changing!

I adore avocado toast. I like it even more when I cut the bread really thinly, spread it with butter or Nuttelex Lite then toast it in the panini maker/sandwich squasher thingy, and, when golden brown and squashed flat and crispy, spread it with the avocado and place a 1/2 centimetre thick solid slice of lettuce on top, either from the heart of a baby cos lettuce or the heart of an icebery lettuce. That way the lettuce is deliciously crunchy, so is the bread. Yum

Love, love, love avocado toast. I skip the bowl and scoop slices right into the bread, smash them down and sprinkle with salt and pepper! Fast and delicious. For those gluten free people, it’s yummy on crunchy brown rice cakes too :)
