Instructions
 

Step 1: Toast the Bread

  • Toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Avocado Spread

  • Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.

  • Drizzle with olive oil or balsamic glaze for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Choosing Avocados: Use ripe avocados that are slightly soft when gently pressed. If they’re too firm, place them in a paper bag with a banana to speed up ripening.
  • Preventing Browning: If making ahead, mix a little extra lemon or lime juice into the avocado mash to prevent oxidation.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free bread for a fully gluten-free meal.
  • Storage Tips: Avocado toast is best eaten fresh, but if storing, keep the mashed avocado in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface.
