  • 1 large ripe Hass avocado
  • 1 fresh garlic clove, halved

✨ Chef's Secrets

  • Secret: Use a potato masher instead of a fork to get the perfect chunky texture without turning it into a puree [1.5].
  • Secret: Rubbing a raw peeled garlic clove on hot toast is a classic chef trick that infuses deep, savory flavor without overwhelming the dish.
  • Secret: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice not only adds brightness but also prevents the avocado from turning brown.

👨‍🍳 Preparation Directions

  1. Toast the sourdough bread slices in a toaster or oven at 400F (200C) until lightly browned and crusty [1.1].
  2. Immediately rub the cut side of the halved garlic clove over the surface of the hot toast for a secret restaurant-style flavor.
  3. Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
  4. Add the fresh lemon juice to the avocado and use a potato masher to lightly mash it, ensuring you leave satisfying chunks for texture.
  5. Divide the mashed avocado evenly and spread it over the garlic-rubbed sourdough slices.
  6. Drizzle each slice with high-quality extra virgin olive oil, then generously sprinkle with flaky sea salt, cracked black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  7. Top with microgreens or everything bagel seasoning if desired, and serve immediately.

🔄 Smart Substitutions

  • Gluten-Free Bread: Swap sourdough for a sturdy gluten-free bread to make this celiac-friendly.
  • Lemon Juice: Lime juice can be used in a pinch to provide the necessary acidity.
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Truffle oil or avocado oil can be used for a different flavor profile.

🌡️ Storage & Reheating

Avocado toast is meant to be eaten immediately. If you must prepare ahead, store the toast and mashed avocado separately. Mix the avocado with extra lemon juice, cover tightly, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
