MASHED AVOCADO TOASTS

AVOCADO DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat and prepare a large bowl of ice water. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water with a slotted spoon and cook for 10 minutes. Drain the eggs with the slotted spoon and transfer to the ice water to cool completely, about 5 minutes.
• Peel the eggs, halve each lengthwise and remove the yolks from the whites. Place the yolks in a food processor and set the whites aside on a plate. Add the avocado, lime juice, sour cream, chopped cilantro and 1 teaspoon kosher salt to the yolks and process until the mixture is smooth and light.
• Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the cavities of the whites then sprinkle each egg lightly with cayenne and some flaky sea salt. Top with a cilantro leaf and serve the eggs immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 6 hours.

AVOCADO SALAD

• For the salad: Peel the avocados, cut into 1-inch chunks and put all but 2 chunks into a large mixing bowl for the salad. Put the remaining 2 chunks into a small mixing bowl and set aside for the dressing.
• Add the parsley, cucumber and onion to the avocado chunks in the large mixing bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• For the dressing: Mash the reserved 2 chunks of avocado with a fork until smooth. Add the oil, honey, cumin and lime juice and whisk until smooth.
• Pour the dressing over the avocado salad and gently toss with your hands to combine. Serve immediately.

AVOCADO TOAST THREE WAYS

AVOCADO SMASH

Steps:

• Cut the avocados in half and discard the pits. Using the tip of a paring knife, score the avocado flesh into medium squares. Use a large spoon to scoop out the cubes into a bowl.
• Add the lemon juice and salt. Mix, smashing gently with a fork or spoon. The dip should be chunky and well combined.

AVOCADO TOASTS

Steps:

• Mash the avocado with a fork in a shallow bowl until chunky. Season with fine salt and black pepper.
• Toast the bread until browned and crisp. Lightly rub 1 side of each slice with the cut side of the garlic until fragrant; discard the garlic. Lightly brush the toasts with oil, and season with fine salt and pepper. Divide the mashed avocado evenly among the toasts, and top with more flaky sea salt, more black pepper and red pepper flakes if using.
