There’s a quiet magic to the first bite of perfect avocado toast. It’s not just breakfast; it’s a small, creamy rebellion against a rushed morning. I remember the first time I truly *made* it—not just smashing an avocado on bread, but building it. It was a Sunday. The farmer’s market had gifted me a perfectly ripe Hass avocado, a beautiful sourdough loaf, and a bag of multicolored cherry tomatoes. I toasted the bread until it was golden and ridged, smashed the avocado with a pinch of flaky salt,
1 slice of sturdy bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or rustic white)
1/2 of a large ripe avocado
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (about 1/4 of a lemon)
1/8 teaspoon flaky sea salt (like Maldon), plus more for finishing
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Optional toppers: red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, or microgreens
