TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for the preparation  of Spicy Avocado Toast on Whole-Grain Bread:

• Extra Crunch: Add pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds or toasted sesame seeds for more texture.

• Perfectly Ripe Avocado: Choose an avocado that yields slightly when gently squeezed.

• Custom Spice Level: Adjust chilli flakes to your spice tolerance or swap for black pepper.

• Bread Choice: Use gluten-free, sourdough or rye bread based on your preference.

• Meal Prep: If preparing for later, squeeze extra lemon juice on the avocado to prevent browning.

VARIATIONS

• Protein Boost: Top with a poached egg or chickpeas for added protein.

• Mediterranean Twist: Add crumbled feta cheese and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

• Sweet And Spicy: Drizzle with honey for a hint of sweetness against the chilli flakes.

• Mexican-Inspired: Add diced tomatoes, black beans and a sprinkle of cotija cheese.

• Smoky Flavour: Use smoked paprika instead of chilli flakes for a milder, smoky taste.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Best Enjoyed Fresh: Avocado toast is best eaten immediately for optimal flavour and texture.

• Make Ahead: Mash the avocado with lemon juice and store it in an airtight container for up to 24 hours in the fridge.

• Refrigeration: If storing avocado separately, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent oxidation.
