Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 slices of whole grain bread
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Slice the ripe avocado in half, removing the pit carefully. Use a spoon to scoop out the avocado flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
- Add the fresh lemon juice to the avocado and mash with a fork until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. The lemon juice helps prevent browning and adds a bright, tangy flavor.
- Toast the whole grain bread slices until they are golden brown and crisp. Use a toaster or a skillet for even toasting.
- Spread the mashed avocado evenly across each slice of toasted bread, ensuring complete coverage from edge to edge.
- Season the avocado spread with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavor profile.
- If desired, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the top for an added kick of heat and visual appeal.
- Cut the open-faced sandwiches diagonally and serve immediately while the toast is still warm and crisp.
Tips
- • Choose a perfectly ripe avocado: Look for one that yields slightly when gently pressed but isn't mushy • Use fresh lemon juice to prevent browning and add brightness • Toast bread until golden for maximum crunch and flavor • Season generously - don't be shy with salt and pepper • For extra flavor variations, try adding everything bagel seasoning, microgreens, or a poached egg on top • Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal texture and temperature • Pro tip: If your avocado is slightly under-ripe, let it sit at room temperature for a day or two to soften
