Avo Toast

Deliciously creamy but full of healthy properties, avocado really is a super food. According  to research published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, eating just one avocado twice a week can cut down the risk of developing heart disease by 21%. 

Avo toast is a tasty breakfast option that is convenient for busy people, and allows you to get creative with toppings! We love to add a few chopped tomatoes, some aragula leaves, and a pinch of salt and pepper. If possible use sourbread as it's a little denser, and allows the avocado to sink in to the bread without it getting soggy. It's also a good idea to mix in a little honey, as it adds a touch of sweetness to the creamy avocado tones. 

From busy breakfasts to brunches, avo toast is always there for us!

Ingredients (for one person):

• 2 slices sourdough bread
• 1 avocado (pitted)
• 1/2 lemon
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 tsp honey
• A pinch of salt
• A pinch of pepper

Instructions:

1. Once the avocado is sliced in half and pitted, scoop its contents into a bowl and mush using a fork.
2. Add the olive oil and whisk. The avocado should have a creamy, smooth consistency with the odd avocado chunk.
3. Mix the honey in, and squeeze in the 1/2 lemon.
4. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper
5. Lightly toast the sourbread, and spread the mixture on
6. Garnish to your desire. A few sweet chili flakes work well sprinked on, or you could even add a poached egg.
