Step 1

Toast your slice of bread until golden and firm.

Step 2

Remove the pit from your avocado. Use a big spoon to scoop out the flesh. Put it in a bowl and mash it up with a fork until it’s as smooth as you like it. Mix in a pinch of salt (about ⅛ teaspoon) and add more to taste, if desired.

Step 3

Spread avocado on top of your toast. Enjoy as-is or top with any extras offered in this post (I highly recommend a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt, if you have it).

Chef’s notes

Make it gluten free:

Use gluten-free bread. My assistant Megan recommends Canyon Bakehouse 7-Grain Bread, which she buys at Natural Grocers.

Bonus Tips:

Add garlic, fresh leafy herbs, an egg, or extras like pickled onions or jalapeños for variety.
