Avocado Toast

Avocado toast is quite simply one of my favorite things to eat. Not only does it take just a few minutes to put together (perfect for busy mornings), but it also keeps me fueled for a productive day.

But first, let’s talk about bread. I am Team Sourdough, through and through. My local farmer’s market has a bakery that sells THE most amazing rosemary garlic sourdough, which is exceptional for a basic avocado toast, but plain  sourdough is ideal if you are going to dress up your toast with flavors that could potentially have conflicting ingredients.

If you’re serving avocado toast as a small bite appetizer, then my go-to is the ciabatta demi-baguette from Trader Joe’s. It’s the perfect size for a 2-3 bite app and when you toast it, it still has some chew (vs other baguettes that tear up your mouth).

You can definitely keep things simple – I usually only add a sprinkle of kosher salt and red pepper flakes, but sometimes, I want to be fancy, especially if I’m serving avocado toast for brunch for other people! These are some of my favorite variations, but you can certainly allow your creativity to kick in and mix and match however you please!
