Lemony Avocado Toast Food

MEYER LEMON AVOCADO TOAST

Steps:

• Toast bread slices to desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Mash avocado in a bowl; stir in cilantro, Meyer lemon juice, Meyer lemon zest, cayenne pepper, and sea salt. Spread avocado mixture onto toast and top with chia seeds.

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.

AVOCADO BLT TOASTS

Steps:

• Mash the avocados in a medium bowl until chunky-smooth. Stir in the scallions, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper; set aside.
• Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 4 minutes per side; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Remove and reserve all but 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Add the butter to the skillet, and swirl to melt and combine with the drippings. Dip both sides of each bread slice in the fat to coat, then cook until browned and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the toasts to a cutting board. Raise the heat to medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved drippings to the skillet, crack the eggs in a single layer, cover and fry until the whites are crisp at the edges but the yellows are runny, about 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, spread each toast with 1/4 of the mashed avocado, and transfer to a serving plate with a spatula. Top each toast with 1/2 cup of the greens, 1 tomato slice sprinkled with salt and pepper, 2 slices bacon and a fried egg, and serve with a fork and knife.

AVOCADO ON TOAST

Steps:

• Cut the avocado in half and carefully remove its stone, then scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Squeeze in the lemon juice then mash with a fork to your desired texture. Season to taste with sea salt, black pepper and chilli flakes. Toast your bread, drizzle over the oil then pile the avocado on top.

CAPRESE AVOCADO TOAST

Steps:

• Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. When the butter has melted, place the bread in the skillet and cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside.
• In a bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, pesto, olive oil, half of the lemon juice and a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, smash the avocado with the lemon zest, remaining lemon juice, red pepper flakes and a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Divide the avocado mix between the 2 slices of toasted bread and place on 2 small plates.
• Give the tomato mixture one last toss. Top each toast with a generous portion of the tomato and mozzarella. Top each with sea salt flakes, balsamic glaze and edible flowers.

AVOCADO TOAST WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Mash the avocado and spread it evenly on the toast pieces.
• Squirt the lemon juice over the avocado. (Optional: Peel and place the lemon in pieces on top, after the squeeze. I started this when I was a kid and still love it this way. Very lemony!).
• Salt and pepper. Eat immediately before it gets soggy. This dish is best prepared by the person eating it so they are available to eat it right away!
