Instructions
1-First Step: Gather and Prep Your Ingredients Begin by assembling all ingredients and spend about 2 to 3 minutes on prep this keeps everything organized for smooth assembly. Slice 1 medium tomato and mince 1 clove of garlic, while halving and pitting 1 ripe avocado. For dietary adaptations, if youβre going vegan, ensure all toppings are plant-based, and select gluten-free bread to start your avocado tomato toast on the right note.
2-Second Step: Toast the Bread Heat your toaster or oven to medium-high (around 350Β°F) and toast 2 slices of bread for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and crisp. This step adds texture and prevents sogginess, taking just a couple of minutes. If youβre adapting for preferences, choose whole-grain varieties for added fiber in a low-calorie version of avocado tomato toast.
3-Third Step: Mash the Avocado In a bowl, mash the 1 ripe avocado with a fork, adding 1 tablespoon olive oil, the juice of 1/2 lemon, and minced garlic mix for about 1 minute until creamy but slightly chunky. Season with salt and pepper to taste for flavor balance. This is a great point to tweak for vegan needs, as everything here is naturally plant-based, keeping your avocado tomato toast flexible and delicious.
4-Fourth Step: Assemble the Toppings Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices, then layer on the sliced tomato and any optional add-ins like chopped basil or red pepper flakes this takes about 1 to 2 minutes. For a heartier option, add sliced boiled egg if desired, or adapt by increasing veggies for low-calorie preferences, enhancing the freshness of your avocado tomato toast.
5-Fifth Step: Season and Customize Sprinkle additional salt, pepper, or seasonings over the top and let it sit for a minute to meld flavors, adjusting as needed. If youβre making multiple servings, this is where dietary modifications shine use gluten-free bread or skip animal products to suit various needs, ensuring each avocado tomato toast is tailored perfectly.
6-Final Step: Finishing Touches and Serving Serve immediately for the best texture, garnishing with extra herbs or a drizzle of olive oil for that final flair it only takes a moment to plate. This yields 2 portions, perfect for sharing, and you can experiment with add-ons like feta for non-vegan versions. Enjoy how this avocado tomato toast becomes a customizable delight thatβs ready in minutes, bringing fresh vibes to your table.
