Avocado Toast



Hi Friends!  Are there any avocado toast fans out there?? I'm a big fan of avocado toast!  My son, Tim, and his wife, Julie, gave me The Best of Aggieland cookbook for Christmas, which they got from a chef friend that has a restaurant in College Station.  Tim and Julie graduated from Texas A&M, and they go there for games occasionally.  The recipe was in the cookbook and I tried it, which  is from First Watch, a great breakfast place. 


I'm using my pretty rose teacup today.


My matching teapot is holding some Harney & Sons New England Breakfast tea which has a hint of maple syrup, and perfect for a morning brew.

Avocado Toast

Avocado Toast

This is such a wonderful recipe and especially on some whole grain artisan bread.  I scaled the recipe down for a single serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 small avocado, halved, pitted, and peeled
  • a squeeze of fresh lime or lemon juice
  • a pinch of kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion salt, and paprika (See NOTE)
  • 1 thick slice of artisan bread (I used my homemade bread)
  • Everything Seasoning for Bagels and More, for garnish (my addition)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the avocado with the squeeze of lime or lemon juice, and the seasonings. Mash with a rubber spatula or whisk, keeping medium-sized chunks. Don't over mash!
  2. Toast the bread, and spread the toast evenly with the avocado mash. You can drizzle with a teeny bit of olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt. I sprinkled with some Everything bagel seasoning.

Notes

If you'd like to make their seasoning, here's the recipe. I opted for pinches of the seasonings.

First Watch Seasoning:

2 cups kosher salt

1/2 cup black pepper

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion salt

1-1/2 teaspoons paprika

Mix thoroughly


Also, you can make the avocado mash ahead of time by transferring it to an airtight container. Seal tightly with a double layer of plastic wrap pressed down directly onto the avocado mash. Keep in the fridge for 2 hours.


 

Thank you for your visit!  xo

  3. My girls love 🥑 but I find it bland. FIrst Watch is local favorite here, and that seasoning recipe sounds super easy. I know it's a great food source, may need to try that. Love how you treat yourself to special dining and tea-sipping goodness, Kitty. Have a great week.
