Avocado toast, the quintessential millennial breakfast, has become a staple in cafes and kitchens worldwide, rising to fame due to its creamy, crunchy taste and its photo-worthy colour. Curiously, it also has become a convenient scapegoat, often unfairly singled out as a symbol of fiscal irresponsibility among younger generations, given its ubiquity on breakfast menus.
Fortunately, you don't need to raid your piggy bank for a trendy cafe's version — making avocado toast at home is an easy and affordable breakfast recipe. And preparing it in your own kitchen allows you to customize every bite to your liking, whether that’s adding extra pizzazz through creative avocado toast seasoning options or boosting the protein content with eggs, meats or cheeses.
How to Make Avocado Toast
Now, it's time to learn the secrets to crafting the perfect slice of avocado toast. First, remember that selecting the right avocado is crucial. Opt for one that's slightly soft to the touch, yet not mushy. Look for dark green skin and a bumpy texture, which indicates optimal ripeness for mashing and spreading.
Preparing the breakfast recipe can be as simple as mashing the ripe avocado, spreading it on toast and adding classic avocado toast seasonings like salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
However, there are many other ways to dress up this breakfast favourite. Take this recipe for instance:
