Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices thick-cut sourdough bread (or any sturdy bread)
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt (like Maldon)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Freshly cracked black pepper

Equipment

  • Toaster or skillet
  • Fork for mashing
  • Small bowl
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Toast the sourdough slices until deeply golden and crunchy on the outside but still slightly soft inside. A toaster works fine but a hot skillet with a drizzle of olive oil gives the best results.
  2. While the bread toasts, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
  3. Mash the avocado with a fork to your preferred texture — I like it chunky with some smooth parts, but fully smooth works too. Taste and adjust the lemon juice and salt.
  4. Spread the mashed avocado generously onto the hot toast in a thick, even layer. Don't be shy — pile it on.
  5. Sprinkle each slice with 1 teaspoon of everything bagel seasoning, pressing it gently into the avocado so it sticks.
  6. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of red pepper flakes, flaky sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
  7. Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and crunchy.

Notes

The number one mistake people make with avocado toast is under-toasting the bread. You want it really crunchy — this gives you texture contrast with the creamy avocado and prevents the bread from going soggy. The number two mistake is using an underripe avocado. If it doesn't mash easily with a fork, it's not ready. Adding lemon juice right away prevents browning and adds essential brightness to the flavor.
