Avocado Toast Recipe (Easy & Healthy)

Ingredients

For the toasts

• 8 to 10 slices garlic bread (whole wheat) or baguette or french loaf or whole wheat bread
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil – for brushing or as needed
• 1 garlic clove – halved

For the avocado filling

• 1 avocado – medium to large
• 1 small to medium-sized garlic clove – minced or finely chopped
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano or add as required, opt for preferred herbs instead
• ¼ teaspoon crushed black pepper or add as required
• ¼ teaspoon lemon juice or add as required
• salt add according to taste

Steps

1. Slice the garlic loaf or french bread.
2. Heat a griddle, tawa, or skillet and toast the bread slices over a low to medium flame.
3. Prepare the avocado filling while the bread toasts. Rinse the avocado if desired, then cut around the center of the whole avocado.
4. Open into two halves and remove the seed.
5. Use a spoon to scoop out all the avocado flesh; it comes out easily.
6. Put the flesh on a chopping board and chop, or mash the pulp in a bowl.
7. Put the chopped avocado in a mixing bowl and add 1 small to medium garlic clove, finely chopped or minced.
8. Add oregano as required, crushed black pepper as required, salt, and a few drops of lemon juice. The lemon juice keeps the avocado from discoloring.
9. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
10. Brush extra virgin olive oil over the bread slices once toasted.
11. Cut the garlic in half and rub it over all the bread slices.
12. Gently place the avocado filling on the toast, adding a sprinkle of red chili flakes if desired.
13. Serve the avocado toast immediately after making it.
