Avocado Toast
5 min Serves 1
Some breakfasts don't need to be complicated. This is the one I make when I have five minutes and I want to actually feel good after eating it.
Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough or whole grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- ½ lemon, juiced
- Flaky sea salt and black pepper
- Red chilli flakes (optional)
- 2 eggs, poached or fried (optional but recommended)
Method
- 1
Toast your bread until golden and sturdy enough to hold the toppings.
- 2
Halve the avocado, remove the stone, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
- 3
Add the lemon juice, a good pinch of salt, and mash to your preferred texture — I like mine a little chunky.
- 4
Spread generously over the toast.
- 5
Top with black pepper, chilli flakes, and eggs if using.
Notes
Ripe avocado is everything here. If yours isn't ready, leave it on the counter next to a banana overnight — it speeds things up. A drizzle of olive oil and everything bagel seasoning also takes this somewhere special.
