Ihop Avocado Toast Recipe
Avocado toast has long been the darling of breakfast and brunch menus everywhere. Its creamy texture and vibrant green color have made it a favorite among foodies and health enthusiasts alike. I remember trying it for the first time at a charming café.
Equipment
- Spoon
- Small mixing bowl
Ingredients
- ½ ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- A sprinkle of red pepper flakes
- 1 slice of hearty thick-cut whole-grain bread
- A dash of sea salt
Instructions
- Slice your ripe avocado in half. Remove the pit carefully. Scoop out the flesh using a spoon. Place it in a small mixing bowl.
- Use a fork to mash the avocado until you reach your desired consistency. Some like it smooth, while others prefer a bit of chunkiness. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and a sprinkle of sea salt. Mix it well.
- While you’re working on the avocado, get your toaster or skillet ready. Toast your slice of thick-cut whole-grain bread to your preferred level of crispiness. I usually aim for golden brown.
- Once your bread is toasted perfectly, it’s time to assemble! Spread the mashed avocado generously over the slice. Don’t be shy – pile it high!
- Sprinkle a few red pepper flakes on top. This gives that pop of heat we talked about. A little extra sea salt can be added too, for those who love a savory kick.
Notes
- Choose the Right Avocado: Timing is important! A ripe avocado will make all the difference in taste and texture.
- Use Good Bread: Opt for whole-grain or artisan bread for that heartiness. It holds the avocado well and adds flavor.
- Experiment with Herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro or basil can really elevate the dish.
- Add Extra Toppings: Consider sliced radishes, microgreens, or even a poached egg for added nutrition.
- Serve Immediately: Avocado can brown quickly. It’s best enjoyed fresh!
