Easy Avocado Toast

Steps

1. 1.

   1.

   Toast The Bread Well** Toast sourdough until crisp and golden on both sides. A sturdy base keeps easy avocado toast from going limp.

2. 2.

   Mash The Avocado

   Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop into a bowl. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth with a few chunks left.

3. 3.

   Season The Mash

   Stir in lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chili flakes if using. Taste. It should taste bright on its own before it hits bread.

4. 4.

   Assemble Easy Avocado Toast

   Drizzle toast lightly with olive oil. Spread the mash thick and even. Add herbs or a fried egg if you want more protein.

5. 5.

   Serve Right Away

   Eat within a few minutes. The toast softens as it sits, so do not assemble ahead for guests.
