Avocado Toast

Avocado Toast vegetarian recipe

Make my go-to avocado toast in 15 minutes. It's the perfect quick breakfast or simple snack, loaded with creamy avocado and a kick of red pepper.

Ingredients

  • 8 slices sourdough bread
  • 2 medium ripe avocados
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 4 sprigs fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Place 8 slices sourdough bread in a toaster or under a broiler. Toast until golden brown and slightly crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side if broiling.
  2. While the bread is toasting, prepare the avocado mash. Carefully cut 2 medium ripe avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 0.5 teaspoon salt, 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes to the bowl with the avocado.
  4. Using a fork, mash the avocado mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. Some prefer it chunky, while others prefer it smoother. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  5. Evenly spread the mashed avocado mixture over the 8 toasted sourdough slices. Each slice should have a generous layer.
  6. Garnish each avocado toast with a small sprig of fresh cilantro, red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
