Ingredients
Bread
- 4 slices whole-grain or sourdough bread
Avocado Spread
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Toppings
- 4–5 radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 cup microgreens
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the bread: Toast the bread slices until they become golden brown and crisp, providing a crunchy base for the toppings.
- Prepare the avocado: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, leaving the mixture slightly chunky for texture.
- Assemble the toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each toasted bread slice to cover the surface.
- Add the toppings: Arrange thinly sliced radishes and fresh microgreens generously on top of the avocado-covered toasts.
- Finish and serve: Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle red pepper flakes and sesame seeds over the toasts if using. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh textures and flavors.
Notes
- Use sourdough, multigrain, or rye bread to vary flavors and textures.
- Add a poached or fried egg on top for extra protein.
- Feta, goat cheese, or cottage cheese can add creaminess and flavor.
- Incorporate additional fresh vegetables like cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, or sprouts for more variety.
- For extra heat, add chili crisp or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Assemble the toast just before serving to maintain the bread’s crispness and freshness.
