Creating amazing avocado toast is incredibly simple. Just follow these straightforward steps:
1. Choose Your Bread: Start by selecting your favorite type of bread. Sourdough and whole grain are popular choices but feel free to choose gluten-free or any bread you enjoy.
2. Toast the Bread: Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crispy to provide a sturdy base for your avocado.
3. Prepare the Avocado: Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
4. Mash the Avocado: Use a fork to mash the avocado to your desired consistency. Some prefer it chunky, while others enjoy a smoother texture.
5. Season the Mash: Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and optional olive oil to the mashed avocado for flavor. Mix well.
6. Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous amount of the seasoned avocado onto each slice of toasted bread.
7. Choose Your Toppings: Select and add your desired toppings for flavor and texture. Be creative with combinations!
