Toast & Bread

Avocado Smash

Toppings & Garnish

Method

Toast & Bread

  1. 1

    Prepare and toast

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat or set a toaster to medium. Lightly brush both sides of the sourdough slices with 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil. Toast the bread in the skillet 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp, or toast in a toaster until golden and edges are crisp. Remove and set on a cooling rack or plate.

Avocado Smash

  1. 2

    Halve and scoop avocado

    Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.

  2. 3

    Season and smash

    Add 1 tsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, a pinch of black pepper, and 1 tsp Himalayan pink sea salt to the avocado. Using a fork, lightly mash the mixture to a chunky spread (leave some small pieces for texture). Taste and adjust salt or lemon as needed.

Assembly & Finish

  1. 4

    Spread & layer: Immediately spread half of the avocado mixture evenly over each warm sourdough slice so the avocado warms slightly and adheres to the toast.

  2. 5

    Add sprouts and carrots: Divide 1 cup sunflower sprouts between the two toasts, lightly pressing them into the avocado so they stay in place. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon shredded carrots across both slices for color and crunch.

  3. 6

    Finish & season: Drizzle the remaining 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil over the two toasts and finish with a light pinch of Himalayan pink sea salt on each. If desired, add an extra crack of black pepper or a few drops of lemon juice to brighten.

  4. 7

    Serve: Transfer to a plate and serve immediately to preserve the crunch of the toast and freshness of the sprouts.
