    How to make Simple Avocado Toast

    Making avocado toast is  when you season the avocado with lemon and cracked pepper and top it with toasted seeds and spread on crunchy toasted bread. 

    This is an easy avocado recipe that is super quick and easy.

    Ingredients 

    The photo below shows you what we need  for this recipe. They are all easy to find ingredients. 

    Simple Avocado Toaast ingredients on a white background

    We have:

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

    For the bread, you can use any sort you like. My preference is for sourdough multigrain as it has both taste and texture. I also like the shape of it as it is nice and rounded.

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

    By all means use white, wholemeal, rye or whichever bread is your favourite.

    Simple avocado toast method

    Making avocado toast is simple and easy!

    Start by slicing your avocados in ½ 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.

    The next steps for this recipe are to season our avocado. 

    There are 4 easy steps to follow:

    • butter the bread (or use spray oil for a vegan option)
    • mash the avocado in a bowl with a fork
    • squeeze in some lemon juice

    Then all you have to do us use your fork to really mix the lemon and pepper into the avocado.
