Classic Avocado Toast
A simple yet satisfying avocado toast, featuring creamy mashed avocado on crispy toast, seasoned with lime juice and a hint of red pepper flakes. A perfect quick breakfast or snack for two.
Prepare the toast
Toast 2 slices of your favorite bread to your desired level of crispness. A toaster or a toaster oven works well for this.
💡 Pro Tips:
- •Using a slightly thicker bread slice helps prevent the toast from getting soggy.
Mash the avocado
While the toast is cooking, slice 1 ripe avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon fresh lime or lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Use a fork to mash the avocado to your preferred consistency.
💡 Pro Tips:
- •Mashing the avocado separately allows for even seasoning.
- •Add the lime juice immediately to prevent the avocado from browning.
Assemble and serve
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the warm toast. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Sprinkle with 1 pinch red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
💡 Pro Tips:
- •For a paleo option, use grain-free bread or sweet potato toast.
- •Serving immediately ensures the toast remains crisp.
- Toaster or toaster oven
- Small bowl

- 💡Feel free to add other toppings like a fried egg (which would change the dietary tags), cherry tomatoes, or Everything Bagel seasoning.
- 💡For best results, use a perfectly ripe avocado—it should be firm but yield slightly to gentle pressure.
