Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Avocado Spread
- 8 to 10 slices fresh bread (about half-inch thick)
- 2 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
- 1/8 tsp salt (or to taste, sea salt preferred)
- 1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Black pepper to taste (optional)
- Extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
Toppings
- Eggs (sunny side up with loose yolks, or scrambled, optional)
- Fresh spinach, rinsed and dried
- Baby tomatoes, sliced
- Fresh cilantro sprigs
- Radishes, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Mash the Avocados: In a medium bowl, use a potato masher to mash together the two ripe avocados until smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
- Season the Spread: Stir in 1/8 tsp salt (adjust to taste) and 1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice into the mashed avocados until well combined to enhance flavor and prevent browning.
- Toast the Bread: Lightly toast the bread slices until the edges turn golden brown. Optionally, add a small pat of butter on the bread while toasting for extra richness.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture over each toasted slice. Top with your choice of fresh spinach, baby tomato slices, radishes, fresh cilantro sprigs, and eggs if desired.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over each open-faced sandwich and sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture.
- Feel free to customize toppings according to your preference.
- Using fresh lemon juice prevents the avocado from browning quickly.
- Sunny side up eggs add a rich, creamy taste but can be swapped with scrambled eggs or omitted for a vegetarian option.
- Toast the bread just enough to get a slight crunch without drying it out.
