TIPS
Here are some 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.
