Talia Sutra’s Classic Avocado Toast

Avocados are very close to my heart. Very. 

I love everything about them, from their dark green dragon-y skin to their creamy texture and rich, nutritious taste. They are magical.  

When I was little, my favorite breakfast was avocado in a soft pita (highly recommended), but today I will be sharing with you my method to making the very best avocado toast.

It may seem simple enough, but simplicity is always hard to truly master because there is always an urge to do more and add more. 

My first tip is: let the simple, natural flavors come through. You only need a few ingredients, but make sure they are as fine as possible.

Ingredients:

• 1-2 slices of your favorite whole wheat sourdough bread 

• One beautiful ripe avocado 

• Extra virgin olive oil

• Half a lemon

• Sea salt

• Hemp seeds 

Instructions

1. While you toast the bread (as you like it), slice open the avocado and use a spoon to remove both halves from the peel. 

2. Take out your toasts to cool. 

3. Place the avocado on a wooden board and mash the avocado with the back of a fork, keeping it slightly chunky. 

4. Drizzle a bit of olive oil on top, squeeze a generous amount of lemon, and add a good pinch of salt. Taste your mash and make adjustments if needed. 

5. Use the fork to spread and lay the avocado mash onto the toast. 

6. Sprinkle hemp seeds on top and enjoy right away!
