Avocado Toast - What's the Big Deal?

So I realize I'm about a year late on this trend, but bare with me.

The first time I saw a blog or recipe about avocado toast I was like: "Are you kidding? What's the big deal? It's literally just avocado on toast."... Then I tried it, and here I am blogging about it.

While Shay and I were in London we stumbled upon this really great coffee shop near our hotel called Freestate Coffee. They have amazing espresso and a small menu of snacks, one of which is their version of avocado toast. We tried it, and fell in love. Since then, I have replicated it a few times and decided that it's just too delicious and too simple not to share.

Avocado Toast

  • Fresh baked bread
  • Avocado (slightly mushy)
  • Olive oil
  • Honey
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Cracked red pepper
  1. If possible, use fresh baked bread from the bakery. I used an artesian bread that was baked fresh at Trader Joe's (so nothing too fancy, but better than thinly, pre-sliced sandwich bread)
  2. Lightly toast or microwave the bread, then drizzle some olive oil & sprinkle salt and pepper on it
  3. Mash the avocado in a bowl with a little bit of honey
  4. Spread the mashed avocado mix on the bread and add a dash of cracked red pepper

Enjoy!
