  8. For Breakfast Avocado Toast: Cook bacon and drain on paper towel. Cook egg to your liking and season with salt and pepper. Top with bacon, egg, and optional chives. Enjoy promptly!
  9. For Sweet Corn and Herb: Char or grill corn, or use raw kernels. Add about 1/2 ear of corn per toast, goat cheese to taste, and top with fresh herbs. Drizzle with 1/2 tsp olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Use any crusty, sturdy, thick-sliced bread; whole grain works well for flavor and structure.
  • Use a ripe Hass avocado for the best creamy texture and flavor. Ripe avocados yield to gentle pressure near the stem.
  • Mash the avocado in a separate bowl, not on the toast, to prevent smashing the bread structure.
  • Avocado toast does not store well; eat it promptly after preparation.
  • Store leftover avocado half by drizzling lemon juice or olive oil on the exposed side, placing it in an airtight plastic bag in the fridge. Slice off the top layer the next day.
