Bread selection
Choosing the right bread
Choosing the right bread is the key to a perfect avocado toast.
Whole grain or multigrain bread ensures more fiber and nutrients than white bread. They also serve as a hearty base that pairs well with the creamy avocado spread.
Toasting the bread elevates its flavor and provides a lovely crunch, making it an ideal base for your nutty topping.
Avocado preparation
Preparing avocado spread
To make a smooth avocado spread, pick ripe avocados that give slightly when pressed.
Halve them, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl.
Mash with a fork till you get the desired consistency—smooth or chunky (depending on how you like it).
A pinch of salt adds flavor, while lemon juice keeps it from browning.
Nut selection
Adding nutty toppings
Nuts add texture and nutritional value to your avocado toast.
Almonds, walnuts, or pecans make for excellent choices owing to their healthy fats and protein content.
Lightly toast them in a pan for enhanced flavor before sprinkling over your prepared avocado spread.
Not only does this combination boost energy levels, it also keeps you full longer.
Flavor boosters
Enhancing flavor with extras
For further flavor enhancement, try adding extras like cherry tomatoes, or fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley over your nutty avocado toast.
A sprinkle of chili flakes can add some heat if you'd like, while sesame seeds provide added crunchiness without overshadowing other flavors in this easy yet healthy breakfast option.
