Learn how to make delicious Avocado Toast. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Let’s gather everything you need to make this delicious avocado toast:

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 4 slices of whole grain bread (sourdough is a personal favorite)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a little kick)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

If you’re in the mood for a bit of a twist, feel free to substitute the tomatoes with radishes or add a sprinkle of feta cheese. The beauty of this dish lies in its flexibility, much like the family meals I enjoyed with my siblings growing up.

Instructions

Let’s dive into creating this delightful dish, step by step:

  1. Start by toasting the bread slices to your desired level of crispiness. I like mine golden brown, reminiscent of those warm tortillas fresh off the comal.
  2. While the bread is toasting, cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
  3. Add the lemon juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to the avocado, mashing it with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky. This is where you can channel your inner abuela, adjusting the seasoning to taste.
  4. Once the bread is toasted, drizzle a bit of olive oil over each slice for added richness.
  5. Spread the mashed avocado generously over the toasted bread slices.
  6. Top each slice with halved cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves, adding a pop of color and freshness.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors and textures.

Cooking should be a joy, not a chore. Remember to taste as you go and adjust the flavors to your liking. This is your dish, and like my grandmother used to say, “Siempre cocina con amor” — always cook with love.
