Avocado Toast Easy Simple And Healthy Bread Snacks

About This Recipe

Avocados are a must-have staple in my house. In fact, I usually buy 1 or 2 each week to use in all kinds of recipes. Also known as butter fruit, avocados (makhan phal) are a wonderfully fatty and flavorful ingredient that’s great to include in both sweet and savory dishes. I even love to eat them raw, drizzled with a bit of lemon juicy, black salt and extra virgin olive oil. And I probably make a fresh and filling Guacamole Sandwich at least every-other-week. But by far my favorite way to enjoy avocados is on toast for a fast and yummy snack or breakfast. It’s a super easy recipe to prepare in as little as 15 minutes, and barely requires any actual cooking. When perfectly ripe avocados are smashed onto thick slices of toasted garlic bread, classic avocado toast becomes a whole other level of deliciousness. Plus, you can add nearly any other toppings you like to create your favorite flavors. Give this simple avocado toast recipe a try with your preferred bread and extra goodies, and I guarantee it’ll be your new go-to breakfast of choice.

How to make Avocado Toast

1. First, slice a loaf of garlic bread or baguette or French bread into 1-inch thick slices. Here I have used whole wheat garlic bread.
2. Heat a griddle, tawa, or large skillet over medium heat. Add the slices of bread. Instead of toasting bread on a skillet, you could opt to toast bread in the oven or a toaster. If toasting in the oven, toast for 5 to 7 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius/356 degrees Fahrenheit in a preheated oven until crispy and golden. Half way through the baking, turn over the slices if needed.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the avocado filling. Rinse the avocado under cold water and pat dry. Then use a sharp knife to cut the avocado in half width-wise, going all the way around the pit. Gently twist the two halves apart. TIP: Always use ripe avocados. Gently press the skin; if it feels firm then the avocado is not yet ripe. A ripe avocado should feel a bit soft when you gently press the skin. I usually buy unripe ones and wrap them with a loosely woven cotton napkin, and allow them to ripen on the counter for a day or as needed.
4. Remove the seed.
5. Use a spoon to scoop out the butter-like avocado flesh. Be sure to scrape the skin to get all of the avocado.
6. Discard the skins and place the avocado flesh on a cutting board.
7. Finely chop the avocado. Alternatively take the scooped avocado pulp in a bowl and mash it well.
8. Add the chopped avocado to a mixing bowl along with 1 finely minced garlic clove.
9. Season with ½ teaspoon of dried oregano, ¼ teaspoon crushed black pepper, salt as required and ¼ teaspoon lemon juice. Note that the lemon juice helps prevent discoloration, but can be skipped if not available. You can add your choice of herbs like cilantro, mint leaves, parsley, basil or thyme. Both dried herbs and fresh herbs work well in the recipe. 10. Mix well. 11. While preparing the avocado mash, be sure to flip your bread as it toasts.
10. Continue toasting the bread until light golden brown.
11. Once toasted, lightly brush the pieces of garlic bread with olive oil.
12. For even more delicious garlic flavor, rub half of a cut piece of garlic on the pieces of toast as well.
13. Use a fork or spoon to load the avocado mixture onto each slice of toast.
14. Serve avocado toast immediately as a snack or breakfast. If you are looking for more Bread recipes for snacks then you may like:
