No link this week, as this is very simple. I wanted something light for supper. I have seen avocado toast with various toppings for a while now. This is what I have been putting together lately.
1/2 to 1 avocado
1 scant teaspoon olive oil
1 slice of wheat bread
(or another favorite)
1 small sliced tomato
Toasted Sesame Seeds
In a small bowl scoop out the avocado with a spoon and mash with a fork. Meanwhile, toast your bread. Spread the avocado over toast. Drizzle with olive oil. Add the sliced tomato on the top. Sprinkle with desired amount of sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

I have only just started eating avocado toast. We usually share an avocado, putting half in a small dish, removing the seed and adding a dash or two of Worcestershire Sauce to each avocado half in the well left by the seed.
The other way we enjoy is to peel and cube the avocado and add to a salad.
For the toast I used Dave's Killer Bread - 21 Whole Grain. My son suggested it. I had a visceral reaction to the name, but he said I shouldn't let that put me off, that it was excellent bread. There is an interesting story of how this company came to be, as I found out later. You can read all about it at their website here. They are called a second-chance company and give jobs to people who have served time in prison. As you read the info you will see how that came about too.
Toppings could be varied and I thought a sliced, hard-boiled egg, or a poached egg, would be nice on the top.
Maybe a drop or two of lemon juice mixed either into the avocado or on top.
A sprinkle of chili flakes would give them a bit of a zip.
If you have any other ideas, perhaps you can leave them in a comment.
That's about it for this one.
Yum. And yes to the chilli flakes too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue :)
DeleteYour supper does look nice and bet it tasted delicious.
ReplyDeleteSupper I suppose you mean about 10pm, before you go to bed?
Hi Margaret, thank you. Supper for me means something light and I don’t usually eat anything after 7:00 p.m.
DeleteSo colorful and healthy. And so many variations to try!
ReplyDeleteYes Ginny, and I love a poached egg on the top :j
DeleteI've never had avocado.
ReplyDeleteIt is something I never had until I moved here :)
DeleteAvocado is my favorite weight loss food now
ReplyDeleteI can see that and so healthy :)
DeleteThis looks really good but the one time I tried avocado I didn't like it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I knew one friend who said they tasted like soap :)
DeleteWe eat avocado any way we can get it. It really is wonder food and tastes so damn good, and the texture is fabulous too. Mostly we use it as part of a salad, but sometimes we have a few slices on the side of the plate whatever we are eating.
ReplyDeleteFortunately hubby and I have mostly the same food tastes. We split ways on broccoli :)
DeleteYou just reminded me I have an avocado!
ReplyDeleteGreat! They do go past their eating stage so quickly.
Deletethis looks so good, and now that i have seen it, it makes me sad the drought has ruined our avocados.
ReplyDeleteI am sad for you too.
DeleteThat is a lovely idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jenn, I was very happy to come across this recipe :)
DeleteJust yummy!
ReplyDeleteVery much so :)
DeleteYum. I make a variation of this.. bread, baby spinach, avocado, some cheese topped off with a fried egg. Makes for a great breakfast.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, that all sounds so delicious! Thank you for the ideas :)
DeleteLove avocados! This looks like a perfectly healthy and delicious breakfast treat.
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie, I am waiting for the avocados to ripen so that I can have it again :)
DeleteWe LOVE that bread!!!! And we do indeed use it for avocado toast. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Mine is similar, but with a dippy egg right on top!
ReplyDeleteSo glad :) oh yes, need to try it with the egg. Thanks Billie Jo :)
DeleteI've never seen it with tomatoes -- that looks good!
ReplyDeleteIt was very tasty but I do like to try it with other things :)
DeleteOh my, I've never tried avocado toast. It looks amazing. I think the sesame seeds make it. Dave's breads are always so tasty. I get them from time to time.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy May week, Denise.
