Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Toast
  • - 1 slice thick-cut sourdough bread
Avocado Base
  • - ½ ripe Hass avocado
  • - 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • - pinch of flaky sea salt plus more to taste
Toppings
  • - ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • - 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • - small handful of microgreens

Method
 

  1. Toast the bread until golden and firm.
  2. Scoop avocado into a small bowl. Add lemon juice and salt. Mash with a fork,
  3. leaving it slightly chunky.
  4. Spread the mashed avocado over the toast.
  5. Top with red pepper flakes and microgreens. Drizzle with olive oil and finish

Notes

  • Storage: Best eaten immediately. Mashed avocado can be stored with plastic
    wrap pressed directly on the surface for up to a few hours.
  • Make ahead: Not recommended — toast softens and avocado browns.
  • Swap: Swap microgreens for arugula; swap red pepper flakes for everything
    bagel seasoning.
