Ingredients for Avocado toast

• Bread: I prefer to use sourdough bread for avocado toast. You could either use sourdough bread, rye, Multigrain bread or wholewheat bread if you prefer that.
• Avocado: A medium-sized good quality Hass avocado is preferable. If you have perfectly ripe Indian avocado you could use that. I will talk about how to select the perfect avocado towards the end of this post. You can check it in the expert tips section.
• Seasoning: toasted Sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, Chilli flakes, flaky sea salt and some lemon zest that adds a lot of freshness.
• Herbs: Basil and cilantro. 

Method : How to Make Avocado toast

Primarily I make two types of avocado toast. The major difference being in one variation Avocado is sliced and in one variation I use mashed avocado with seasonings and herbs. Other than the texture of avocados you can completely change the taste with a variety of bread.

Sliced Avocado Toast:

1. Cut Avocado into two halves and remove the pit. Take one half and while holding it together thinly slice it. Do not separate the avocado slices yet.
2. Toast Sourdough bread slice in a toaster or on the pan after applying olive oil or butter. Toast it till golden brown from both sides. 
3. Now place the sliced avocado over toasted bread and slightly spread it like a fan.
4. Sprinkle some sesame seeds, black sesame, sea salt flakes and lemon zest. You have a delicious breakfast ready in minutes. 

Mashed Avocado toast:

1. In a bowl place the avocado and simply mash with a fork that it remains chunky and not completely mashed. Now add in flavourings. I like to keep it very simple. I just add salt, cilantro and mix them lightly. 
2. Toast Sourdough bread slice in a toaster or in a pan or griddle after applying olive oil or butter. Toast it till golden brown from both sides. 
3. Now sprinkle some sesame seeds, black sesame, sea salt flakes and lemon zest. You have a delicious breakfast ready in minutes.

Ripening & Storage Hacks

Here’s how to ripen avocados fast

• Paper-bag trick: Place avocado with a banana; ethylene speeds ripening overnight.
• Fridge pause: Perfectly ripe? Store in the fridge (whole) to hold for 2–3 days.
• Prep ahead: Mash avocado with ½ tsp lemon juice; press plastic wrap directly on surface and refrigerate up to 24h still bright green.

Choosing the Best Bread For Avocado Toast 🥖

• Sourdough: tangy flavour, open crumb for olive-oil soak.
• Whole-grain rye: extra fibre; keeps you full longer (great for healthy avocado toast).
• Sprouted 7-grain: low-GI, nutty bite.
• Gluten-free oat loaf: if you need a GF option, toast twice for crunch.

Pro tip: Lightly brush each slice with olive oil before toasting for the extra flavour, crisp edges, and a little antioxidant boost.

More Topping Suggestions for Avocado Toast

• Vegetarian protein Toppings: Lentils, chickpeas, crispy tofu.
• Crunchy Vegetables: radish slices, cherry tomato halves, pickles, Jalapeño, green beans, red onions, pico de gallo, pomegranate arils, salsa or relishes.
• Nuts and Seeds: toasted pepitas, or sesame seeds, sliced toasted almonds
• Non-vegetarian proteins: Eggs (boiled, poached or fried), sliced salmon trouts etc.
• Cheese: Mature cheddar, feta, goat cheese, Mexican cotija, queso.

Recipe Notes and Tips

1. If you are making mashed avocado toast do not directly mash it over toast. That will make the toast soggy.
2. To Make Keto-friendly avocado toast use keto bread.
3. If you like to make it gluten-free use a gluten-free bread.
