Ingredients

  • 2 ripe Hass avocados (Holmes Grown 🌱)
  • 4 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
  • ½ lemon (for juice)

Instructions

Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crisp.

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.

Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth (or leave slightly chunky, if you prefer).

Spread the avocado mixture generously on each slice of toast.

Top with your favorite extras — from fresh veggies to a drizzle of olive oil.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

FAQ

Can I make this ahead of time?

Avocado toast is best enjoyed fresh, but you can mash the avocado ahead with lemon juice to slow browning and store it in an airtight container.

What bread works best?

Whole grain, sourdough, or multigrain bread holds up best and adds extra flavor and nutrition.

How can I make it more filling?

Top it with a poached egg, smoked salmon, or chickpeas for added protein.
