Ingredients:

• bread of your choice
• half an avocado
• red pepper flakes
• salt
• pepper
• butter (optional but delicious)

Avocado toast is both delicious and easy to produce. Of course, there are plenty of more complex recipes out there, but I am a firm believer that simple can often be better. Keep in mind, this isn’t a perfect recipe- I am still working on swapping a few things out and will be sure to update it soon!

Directions

Step 1:

Start with half of an avocado and slice it going longways while it’s still in the skin. Make sure to cut all the way through to the bottom so itll be easier to take out later.

If you would rather mash the avocado, put it in a small bowl and mash with the back end of a fork! Here, you can combine your seasonings while you mash it.

Step 2:

Have your toasted bread ready. I personally like to butter the bread for extra flavor (my favorite is Kerrygold) before adding the avocado.

Place your avocado slices on your bread and sprinkle all of your seasoning (salt, pepper, red pepper flakes) on top! Feel free to add any additional garnishes and seasonings.

Take it a Step Further:

If this avocado toast isn’t enough, you can add an additional slice of tasted bread on top to make an avocado sandwich. I love pairing this with some spinach and about 1 cooked/scrambled egg!
