A simple, no-fuss avocado toast recipe perfect for busy mornings or last-minute snacks. Creamy avocado mashed with lemon juice and salt, spread on toasted rustic bread for a satisfying breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium ripe avocado (about 150g), peeled and pitted
  • 2 slices rustic bread (sourdough or whole grain recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • A pinch of sea salt, plus extra for sprinkling
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (optional, for drizzling)
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons cottage cheese (optional, for creamy twist)
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved (optional, for topping)
  • Microgreens or fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread slices in a toaster or under the oven broiler until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small mixing bowl.
  3. Mash the avocado with a fork or potato masher to a creamy, slightly chunky texture.
  4. Stir in fresh lemon juice, a pinch of sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. If desired, fold in cottage cheese for an ultra-smooth texture.
  6. Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices.
  7. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and add red pepper flakes if using.
  8. Top with cherry tomatoes or microgreens if desired.
  9. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of crunchy toast and creamy avocado.

Notes

Use ripe avocados that yield slightly under gentle pressure for best flavor. Don’t over-mash to keep some texture. Toast bread well to avoid sogginess. Lemon juice prevents browning and brightens flavor. Optional cottage cheese adds creaminess without masking avocado flavor. For gluten-free, use gluten-free bread. For vegan, skip cottage cheese and use olive oil or mashed beans.
