Avocado Toast (main)

Optional garnish & extras

Method

Avocado Toast (main)

  1. 1

    Toast the bread

    Place the sourdough slices in a toaster or under a broiler and toast until golden and crisp at the edges, about 2–4 minutes depending on your appliance.

  2. 2

    Prepare the avocado

    Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch (about 1/4 tsp) of the salt. Mash with a fork to your preferred texture — slightly chunky is recommended.

  3. 3

    Season

    Taste the mashed avocado and add the remaining salt and the black pepper and red pepper flakes. Mix to combine. Adjust lemon or salt to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble

    Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted sourdough slices. Sprinkle microgreens or chopped cilantro on top for freshness.

Optional garnish & extras

  1. 5

    Add tomatoes (optional)

    Scatter halved cherry tomatoes over the avocado for acidity and color.

  2. 6

    Add a soft-boiled egg (optional)

    To prepare a soft-boiled egg: bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil, lower an egg into the water and cook 6–7 minutes for a jammy yolk. Transfer to an ice bath for 1 minute, peel, slice in half and place on the avocado toast.

  3. 7

    Finish

    Finish with a light sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning if using, and an extra drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve immediately.
