Instructions
 

For a Classic Avocado Toast

  • Start by toasting your slice of grainy bread until it’s golden brown and slightly crisp. This typically takes 2–3 minutes, depending on the thickness.
  • Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl, then mash it with a fork until smooth. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  • Spread the mashed avocado generously onto your toasted bread. Add a pinch more salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
