What is avocado toast

The photo below shows you what we need  for this recipe.

We have:

• avocado
• lemon
• multigrain sourdough
• sunflower seeds
• sesame seeds
• butter
• pepper

If you want this vegetarian recipe to be vegan, there is only that one simple change to make for the recipe. You can switch out the butter for spray olive oil instead. I like using butter as it really does toast well and brings a nice colour to the bread.

These ingredients are all straight forward and easily accessible. You might even have most of them at home already!

For the bread, you can use any sort you like. My preference is for multigrain as it has both taste and texture. I also like the shape of it as it is nice and rounded. By all means use white, wholemeal, rye or whichever bread is your favourite.

Go for ripe avocados that soften slightly when you push them gently from the outside

Simple avocado toast method

Making avocado toast is simple and easy.

The photo below shows you the avocado in the beginning stages of the recipe

Start by slicing your avocados in 1/2 and removing the seed.

The image on the right shows you that the next step is to use the knife to make gently make cuts across both directions of the avocado. This makes it so much easier to scoop out the avocado so we can season it. Using a spoon is easiest. I find that a fork doesn’t ever really get ALL the avo out and I love avo so much I don’t want to waste any of it.
