Avocado Toast Trio

Hello and welcome! Let’s start this week off with an easy Avocado Toast Trio. I love Avocado toast, it’s so easy and customizable. They go sweet or savory and are perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And, they’re a perfect meal to prepare for just yourself. My favorite go-to is with almond butter, honey and red pepper flakes, because it’s so easy. But if I want to get fancy the other two I will share today are just as perfect. So, let’s get to my Avocado Toast Trio.

The Toast

For avocado toast, I like to cut thick slices of a country loaf or sourdough. Today I have a sesame seeded country loaf. Brush both sides with olive oil and toast them in the oven.

Lay the slices on a rimmed sheet tray and broil from the middle rack of the oven, so they toast slowly and evenly. I watch them closely and flip them once they’ve gotten golden.

Asparagus, Radish and Pecorino

First, I have a version that is great for spring; with asparagus, radishes, and pecorino. It’s super fresh and has a great crunch from the radishes. I set a bundle of asparagus on the rimmed sheet tray with the bread as it toasted. This slightly roasted the asparagus, to take the raw edge off, but still left them firm.

Typically, I slice the avocados and scoop them out of the skin, then when I put them on the bread I squish them a little so there aren’t whole slices that tend to slide out when you take a bite. After spreading the avocado, lay on a few slices of radish. Then top with asparagus. I have some thinly sliced preserved lemon which gives savory umami and brightness. If you don’t have preserved lemon, try some lemon zest. Break apart a few pieces of shaved pecorino and sprinkle over the top.

This toast is bright in flavor and color; it’s fresh and light and has a ton of great texture. This one is is best eaten with a knife and fork!

Fried Egg Avo Toast

Another knife and fork toast, this one is hard to beat with its fried egg and chili crunch. Perfect for breakfast – or any time! Fresh tomato gives some acidity to balance the creamy richness of the avocado and the egg. The chili crunch adds texture and only a little heat, but really goes a long way with this avocado toast.

Almond Butter and Honey

As I mentioned at the top, this one is my go-to avo toast. Whenever I need a quick bite before a yoga class or if time is short, it’s an easy one to put together. For this one, I usually leave the avocado in slices. For one, the almond butter is soft and won’t hold up to squishing the avocado and spreading it; and since there aren’t veggies on top of the avocado slices, the slices aren’t going to fall off.

Smear on a good layer of almond butter and lay the avocado slices on top. Drizzle with honey and top with red pepper flakes and flaky sea salt.

And just like that; three distinct and easy avocado toasts. Perfect for snacking or for a light meal. Thank you for joining me today. I hope you give one, or all of these avocado toasts a try.

    They all look really good. That gooey, eggy one looks to die for! Almond butter with it sounds great. I don’t think I’ve tried that combo. Hmmmmm

      Hi Suzanne, yes it’s an interesting combo. It sounds kinda weird, but it really works. Avocado’s fruity, nutty flavor really works with nut butters and can go kinda sweet surprisingly well. Give it a try and let me know what you think! xo Kelly
