Best Lemony Avocado Toast Recipes

AVOCADO TOASTS

Steps:

• Mash the avocado with a fork in a shallow bowl until chunky. Season with fine salt and black pepper.
• Toast the bread until browned and crisp. Lightly rub 1 side of each slice with the cut side of the garlic until fragrant; discard the garlic. Lightly brush the toasts with oil, and season with fine salt and pepper. Divide the mashed avocado evenly among the toasts, and top with more flaky sea salt, more black pepper and red pepper flakes if using.

CAPRESE AVOCADO TOAST

Steps:

• Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. When the butter has melted, place the bread in the skillet and cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside.
• In a bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, pesto, olive oil, half of the lemon juice and a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, smash the avocado with the lemon zest, remaining lemon juice, red pepper flakes and a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Divide the avocado mix between the 2 slices of toasted bread and place on 2 small plates.
• Give the tomato mixture one last toss. Top each toast with a generous portion of the tomato and mozzarella. Top each with sea salt flakes, balsamic glaze and edible flowers.

MEYER LEMON AVOCADO TOAST

Steps:

• Toast bread slices to desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Mash avocado in a bowl; stir in cilantro, Meyer lemon juice, Meyer lemon zest, cayenne pepper, and sea salt. Spread avocado mixture onto toast and top with chia seeds.

AVOCADO TOAST

Steps:

• Toast the bread to your liking. Meanwhile, use a wide spoon to remove the avocado halves from the peel, keeping them in large pieces.
• Drizzle the hot toast lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Let cool slightly, then place one avocado half on each slice of toast. Use the back of a fork to roughly mash the avocado into the bread, keeping it as chunky as possible.
• Sprinkle with a little more salt, and pepper if desired. Squeeze the citrus over the top and add any garnishes. Cut each piece of toast in half if they're large and serve immediately.

AVOCADO TOAST WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Mash the avocado and spread it evenly on the toast pieces.
• Squirt the lemon juice over the avocado. (Optional: Peel and place the lemon in pieces on top, after the squeeze. I started this when I was a kid and still love it this way. Very lemony!).
• Salt and pepper. Eat immediately before it gets soggy. This dish is best prepared by the person eating it so they are available to eat it right away!
