TIPS
- Ripe Avocado: Use a ripe avocado for the best texture and flavour. It should be slightly soft when pressed.
- Crisp Toast: Ensure your sourdough bread is toasted well to create a satisfying contrast with the creamy avocado.
- Enhance Flavours: For an extra zing, add red pepper flakes or a dash of smoked paprika on top.
- Customise Toppings: Try adding a poached egg or sprinkle feta cheese for more protein and taste variation.
VARIATIONS
- Add Protein: Top with a poached egg or smoked salmon for added protein.
- Spicy Avocado: Mix in a pinch of crushed red pepper or drizzle hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- Herbed Avocado: Stir in finely chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro to brighten the flavours.
- Vegan Option: Replace honey with maple syrup or agave for sweetness in specific versions, or add nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavour.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- In The Fridge: Store unused mashed avocado with a squeeze of lemon juice in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
- Avocado Tip: To prevent browning, place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the mashed avocado.
- Freezing Not Recommended: Due to texture changes, freezing avocado toast is not advisable.
