Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 avocado peeled, pitted and chopped
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- Pinch sea salt
- 2 slices sourdough bread toasted
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mash the avocado with fork tines. Add lemon juice and salt. Mix well. Spread half of the avocado mixture on each slice of toasted bread.
- Drizzle honey over the tops, followed by a sprinkling of red pepper flakes.
Notes
- Hot, spicy honey is a great replacement for regular honey to spice things up even more and give your morning avo toast a kick. Hot pepper jelly or jalapeno jelly also work great on their own or mixed with the honey.
- Black pepper, cayenne pepper, or even hot sauce can be used as a replacement for or along with the red pepper flakes.
- When spreading the mashed avocado over the bread slices, place a heaping pile in the center of the piece of bread and spread from the center all the way to the outer edges to ensure even distribution.
- Once an avocado has been opened, it’s only good for a few days. See tips below on how to keep avocado fresh longer.
- If you have leftover avocado toast, add lunch meat and turn it into a sandwich.
