Ingredients
- Avocados (ripe and mashed, the creamy base for the toast)
- Whole wheat or sourdough bread (for a hearty base, or any bread you prefer)
- Lemon juice (to add freshness and prevent the avocado from browning)
- Salt (to enhance the flavor)
- Pepper (for a subtle kick)
- Red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
- Olive oil (drizzled on top for extra richness)
- Fresh herbs (optional, like cilantro or parsley, for garnish)
- Tomato slices (optional, for extra flavor and a pop of color)
- Heart-shaped cookie cutter (for shaping the toast into hearts)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Toast your bread slices to your desired level of crispness. Once toasted, let them cool slightly before cutting them into heart shapes using a heart-shaped cookie cutter.
- Mash the Avocado: While the bread is toasting, scoop out the flesh of the avocados into a bowl and mash with a fork. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper to taste. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Toasts: Spread the mashed avocado mixture generously on each heart-shaped toast. Use a spoon or the back of a knife to evenly distribute the avocado across the surface.
- Add Optional Toppings: For added flavor and color, top the avocado toast with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, and a drizzle of olive oil. You can also add a slice or two of tomato on top for a refreshing contrast.
- Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy the heart-shaped avocado goodness. Perfect with a side of fresh fruit, a poached egg, or just on its own for a light, heart-healthy meal!
Notes
- Bread Options: You can use any type of bread you like, from whole grain to gluten-free options, or even bagels for a twist.
- Topping Variations: For an extra gourmet touch, add toppings like a fried egg, smoked salmon, or feta cheese.
- Make It Spicy: If you enjoy a little heat, try adding sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the top of your toast.
