How to make 3-ingredient avocado toast
- Toast the bread: Cook the bread until it’s crisp and golden. Aim for a toast you can hold up to a creamy topping without going soggy too fast.
- Mash the avocado: Scoop the avocado into a small bowl and mash until creamy. Take your time—lumps will show once it’s spread.
- Season the mash: Mix in the lemon juice or vinegar, then add a small pinch of sea salt. The tang brightens the avocado and makes the flavor pop.
- Assemble: Spread the avocado mixture generously over the toasted bread.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy right away with tea, coffee, or your favorite morning drink.
Optional upgrades (only if you have them)
The base recipe is intentionally minimal, but you can personalize it with what’s on hand:
- Use whole-grain bread for extra fiber.
- Add black pepper or chili flakes for heat.
- Top with sliced tomatoes for juiciness and freshness.
- If you have it, include a poached egg for extra protein.
