Ingredients
Toast
- 2 slices sourdough bread
Avocado Mixture
- 1 medium avocado
- pinch salt
Toppings
- 1 tsp red chili pepper flakes
- 2 tsp honey
- fresh herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast the slices of sourdough bread in a toaster until they are golden and crisp to your liking.
- Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Using a knife, score the flesh in a grid pattern to create small squares, then scoop the avocado into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until creamy and season with a pinch of salt.
- Assemble the Toast: Evenly spread the mashed avocado onto each slice of toasted bread.
- Add Honey and Chili Flakes: Drizzle the honey evenly over the avocado toast, then sprinkle with red chili flakes to add a spicy touch.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, top with fresh herbs for added flavor and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use ripe avocado for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- If you prefer less spice, reduce the amount of chili flakes or omit them.
- Fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or chives pair especially well with this toast.
- For a nuttier flavor, toast the bread to a deeper golden brown.
- This recipe is best enjoyed fresh but leftovers can be refrigerated for up to a day.
