Toast

Avocado Spread

Toppings (optional)

Method

Toast

  1. 1

    preheat and prepare bread

    Heat a skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. Brush both sides of the bread slices lightly with olive oil (or spread butter) to help them brown and crisp.

  2. 2

    toasting

    Place the bread slices in the hot skillet or in a toaster. If using a skillet: cook 1.5–2 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and crisp at the edges. If using a toaster: toast to your desired level. Transfer toasted bread to a plate and set aside.

Avocado Spread

  1. 3

    prepare avocado

    Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado to your preferred texture — smooth or slightly chunky.

  2. 4

    season spread

    Add lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the mashed avocado. Mix thoroughly and taste; adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon as needed.

Assembly & Toppings

  1. 5

    spread avocado

    Divide the avocado mixture evenly between the two toasted bread slices and spread it with the back of a spoon to cover the surface.

  2. 6

    add toppings

    Top each slice with halved cherry tomatoes and microgreens or arugula as desired. Sprinkle crumbled feta or goat cheese over the top, then add a pinch of everything bagel seasoning if using. Finish with a light drizzle (about 1/4–1/2 tsp per slice) of extra-virgin olive oil and a final grind of black pepper.

  3. 7

    serve

    Serve immediately while the toast is still crisp. Optionally, accompany with lemon wedges for extra brightness or a fried/poached egg on top for added protein.
