Why Make This Recipe

Smashed avocado on toast is a quick and easy dish that everyone loves. It is healthy, tasty, and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light snack. The creamy avocado paired with crispy toast makes for a satisfying meal. Plus, you can customize it with your favorite ingredients.

How to Make Smashed Avocado on Toast

Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and de-stoned
  • 1 pinch dried chili flakes
  • ½ small garlic clove, finely grated (optional)
  • ½ lime, juice only
  • Sea salt
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 slice sourdough, toasted
  • Few sprigs fresh coriander, chopped

Directions:

  1. Place the avocado in a bowl.
  2. Add the chili flakes, garlic (if using), lime juice, salt, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
  3. Mash everything together with a fork until you reach your desired consistency—chunky or smooth.
  4. Spread the avocado mixture on the toasted sourdough.
  5. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

How to Serve Smashed Avocado on Toast

Serve the smashed avocado on toast immediately after making it. It is best enjoyed fresh. You can add extra toppings like sliced tomatoes, radishes, or a poached egg for added flavor.

How to Store Smashed Avocado on Toast

It is best to eat smashed avocado on toast right away, as the avocado can brown quickly. If you have leftover avocado mixture, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the avocado to minimize air exposure.

Tips to Make Smashed Avocado on Toast

  • Use ripe avocados for the best flavor and texture.
  • Experiment with toppings like feta cheese, seeds, or herbs to customize your toast.
  • For a kick, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce.

Variation

You can change this recipe by adding different spices or toppings. Try using diced tomatoes, sliced radishes, or even a poached egg on top for a heartier meal.

FAQs

1. Can I use other types of bread for this recipe?
Yes, you can use any bread you like! Whole grain, rye, or gluten-free bread also work well.

2. What if my avocado is too hard?
If your avocado is hard, leave it at room temperature for a day or two until it ripens. You can speed up the process by placing it in a brown paper bag with an apple or banana.

3. How can I tell if an avocado is ripe?
A ripe avocado should feel slightly soft when you gently squeeze it. The skin should also look dark green or almost black, depending on the variety.
