Creamy avocado on crispy whole grain toast with zesty lemon seasoning

# What You'll Need:

→ Bread

01 - 2 slices whole grain bread

→ Avocado Mixture

02 - 1 ripe avocado
03 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
04 - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
05 - 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Optional Toppings

06 - 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese
07 - 1/2 small tomato, thinly sliced

# How to Make It:

01 - Toast the whole grain bread slices to your desired level of crispiness.
02 - While the bread is toasting, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
03 - Add lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to the avocado. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving some texture if desired.
04 - Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
05 - Top with your choice of optional toppings such as feta cheese, tomato slices, seeds, or red pepper flakes.
06 - Serve immediately.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Ready in the time it takes your toaster to pop, which means breakfast that doesn't feel rushed or guilt-laden.
  • You control the texture, the toppings, the saltiness, everything, so it becomes exactly what you're craving that morning.
  • It's the kind of plate you'd actually photograph not because you're performing for social media, but because it looks and tastes genuinely good.
02 -
  • An underripe avocado will refuse to mash smoothly and will taste faintly of grass, while an overripe one will taste mushy and slightly bitter, finding that middle ground changes everything.
  • The lemon juice isn't just for flavor, it's an antioxidant that slows browning by hours, a small trick that makes afternoon toast still look presentable.
03 -
  • Rubbing a cut garlic clove across the warm toast before spreading avocado adds depth without overwhelming the dish, a restaurant trick that works.
  • If you're making this for someone else and want to win points, top it with a soft fried egg or poached egg while it's still warm, suddenly breakfast feels celebratory instead of rushed.
