Avo on toast
Avo on toast is our regular Sunday night dinner. Purists need
just salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon. But there are so
many ways to ring the (delish) changes. Like these ...
The easy options
Slice, mash or smash your avo onto a slice of toast of your
choice. Top with either • a poached egg • chorizo and goat’s
cheese • a sprinkling of dukkah and squeeze of lemon.
The healthy options
Top your health bread toast with avo, hummus, pesto and
lemon for a quick and tasty snack. Try adding some roasted
chickpeas for a bit of crunch.
Sourdough toast, topped with avocado slices, cherry
tomatoes, crispy seaweed, and a sprinkling of pumpkin seed
dukkah and smoked sea salt.
Toast a bagel or English muffin, then top with pesto,
smashed avocado, savoury granola, fennel and rocket salad,
drizzled with avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil, crushed
pistachio nuts and - if you’re famished, a poached egg.
Toast some low GI bread, top with smashed avocado,
cannellini beans, shaved radishes, thyme, parmesan cheese
shavings, and avocado balls. Serve with a sprinkling of chilli
flakes and a wedge of lemon.
The LUXURY OPTIONS
Toast some rye or health bread, smother in cream cheese
(full cream is our choice, low fat versions if you prefer), then
layer on some thinly sliced cucumber. Pile on the smoked
salmon, sprinkle with capers and chives.
Toast some sourdough bread. Slice avos and fan on the
bread. Add shavings of parmesan, thin slices of red onion,
and top with rocket leaves. Drizzle with an olive oil and
balsamic reduction dressing.
Could you ever go wrong with bacon? Nope. Toast ciabatta,
spread with cream cheese, then pile on the smashed avo.
Add a generous handful of crispy bacon. For a proper
breakfast option, drop the cheese and add a poached egg.
Try an Italian caprese version. Toast ciabatta, and while still
hot rub with a cut garlic clove. Smash your avo on the toast,
then top with cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls or slices, basil
leaves and olive oil, and just a smidgen of balsamic vinegar.
