Avocado toast recipe with step by step photos – An easy and a quick breakfast recipe of avocado garlic toast. This vegan recipe gets done within 15 minutes.
I usually buy 2 to 3 avocados every week. Either we have them plain drizzled with a bit of lemon juice, black salt and extra virgin olive oil or I make these quick toasts. I also make Guacamole sandwich at times.
Avocado is also called as butter fruit. In hindi its known as makhan phal. if you have not tried avocado, then do try. Chances are that you will like it.
Always use a ripe avocado for any recipe that you make with it. When you press the avocado, it should not feel firm and tight. If it feels firm, then the avocado is not ripe but raw.
In a ripe avocado, when you press the skin, it feels soft. I usually buy unripe ones and wrap them with a loosely woven cotton napkin and allow them to ripe on the counter. It take some days for them to ripen. Here is a detailed post on HuffingtonPost on How to check the ripeness in an avocado and how to store them.
For the toasts, I have used whole wheat garlic bread. though you can use any bread or a french loaf or baguette. These toasts make for a healthy breakfast and keep you full for some time.
How to make avocado toast
1. Firstly slice a garlic loaf or a french bread.
2. Then heat a griddle or tawa. Place the loaf slices on it. Toast them on a low to medium flame.
3. Whilst the bread is getting toasted, we prepare the avocado filling. Take an avocado. Rinse if you want. Then give a cut at the center moving around the entire avocado.
4. We want the avocado in two halves. Remove the seed.
5. With a spoon, scoop out the entire avocado flesh, which is like butter and gets removed easily.
6. Place the scooped out avocado flesh on the chopping board. Also scrape the remaining bits clinging on the peel with the spoon.
7. Chop them.
8. Add the chopped avocado in a mixing bowl. Also add 1 small to medium garlic clove (finely chopped or minced).
9. Season with ½ teaspoon oregano (or add as required), crushed black pepper (as required), salt and a few drops of lemon juice. The lemon juice prevents the discoloration. You can skip lemon juice if you want.
10. mix well and keep aside.
11. meanwhile the bread is getting toasted. Once the base is lightly toasted, flip and toast the other side.
12. Toast the slices till they are crisp and golden. If you want you can just lightly toast them.
13. Once the slices are toasted, then brush some extra virgin olive on top.
14. Halve a garlic and rub the garlic on all the bread slices.
15. Now gently place the avocado filling on the toasted bread slices. If you want you can even sprinkle some red chili flakes.
16. Serve avocado toast immediately as a snack with some smoothie or ginger tea or cold coffee.
