Plain or topped with endless possibilities, avocado toast is a quick and easy meal that can fit in any time of day or schedule.
Celebrate all the appetizing options that offer flavor, satisfaction, and nutrients with every bite. Your waistline will appreciate how fiber-containing foods like avocados help provide a feeling of fullness but with fewer calories.
Let’s get started.
01
Pick and Prep a Ripe, Fresh Hass Avocado
Look at color and rely on touch to pick the best fresh avocados. Ripe, ready to eat avocados will yield to firm, gentle pressure and be a darker color.
Wash. Safely cut, peel, and remove seed.
Avocados are versatile. Scoop out the creamy flesh and mash, slice, or dice in a bowl.
02
Select a Slice and Toast
Pick your bread of choice.
Tip: The heartier types of bread stay soft in the center yet sturdy to support toppings after toasted.
03
Customize
Spread the avocado goodness on your toast.
Sweet or savory? Mild or spicy? Simple with a dash of salt or a culinary masterpiece?
Flex your creativity with your favorite toppings and different flavor combinations.
Tip: Experiment with how you cut, stack and style the avocado and toppings to add fun to the plate!
Enjoy!
