Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of sea salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Optional Topping 1 (Classic): Pinch of red pepper flakes
- Optional Topping 2 (Egg): 1 large egg, cooked to preference
- Optional Topping 3 (Everything): 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Toast the bread slices until golden brown and firm.
- While the bread toasts, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
- Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the avocado.
- Use a fork to mash the avocado until you reach your desired creamy texture. Do not over-mash; leave some small chunks for texture.
- Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the two toast slices.
- Apply your chosen topping: sprinkle with red pepper flakes, top with a cooked egg, or dust with everything bagel seasoning.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For the creamiest texture, select an avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure but is not soft.
- To prevent browning if making ahead, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the mashed avocado before refrigerating for a short time.
- Use high-quality bread for the best structural support and flavor base.
