Whether you’re looking to impress your guests or simply want to kick off your day with something light yet satisfying, Nisha and Priya are here to guide you. We’re making it fun and simple, so let’s dive in!

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Serves: 2 people

Country of Origin: USA (with global twists!)

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of bread (your choice of sourdough, whole wheat, or gluten-free)
• 1 ripe avocado
• Salt to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil (optional for richness)
• 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, but highly recommended)
• Red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of spice)
• Fresh herbs for garnish (optional, parsley or cilantro works best)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Nisha: "Alright, Priya, let's get this party started! First, we're going to toast our bread. I’m using sourdough for that tangy flavor, but you can choose your favorite bread—whole wheat is great for a healthier kick, and gluten-free works wonders too."

Priya: "You know what, Nisha? Sourdough all the way. It just gives such a satisfying crunch. But hey, toast your bread however you like—what’s important is getting that crispy golden goodness!"

1. Toast the Bread: "While the bread’s toasting, let's tackle the star of the show—our avocado. Make sure it’s ripe but not too soft. You want it creamy but still holding its shape!" - Nisha

Priya: "Totally! Cut it in half, remove the pit, and scoop out all that goodness into a bowl. If you want it smooth, mash it well, but I love it a bit chunky. How about you, Nisha?"

2. Prepare the Avocado: "I’m all about that creamy texture! Mash it until it’s nice and smooth, and then we’ll season it. A pinch of salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice—this is where the magic happens." - Nisha

Priya: "Lemon juice is a must! It just brightens everything up. And if you’re feeling spicy, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes."

3. Assemble the Toast: "Once your bread is golden and crispy, spread that creamy avocado generously on each slice. I like to drizzle some olive oil for extra richness, but that’s totally optional!" - Nisha

Priya: "Don’t forget the garnish! Fresh herbs, like parsley or cilantro, are perfect. It adds freshness and a nice pop of color. You can even add a little extra pepper for some zing!"

4. Serve & Enjoy: "And there you have it—your perfect avocado toast, ready to devour! Enjoy it with a side of fruit, or pair it with scrambled eggs or a smoothie for the ultimate breakfast combo!" - Priya

Pro Tips for Perfect Avocado Toast:

• Nisha: "Always use ripe avocados, but avoid the overly mushy ones. You want the avocado to be creamy but still have a little texture."
• Priya: "Toast your bread until it’s super crispy—add a little olive oil in the pan for that golden finish if you’re really craving crunch."
• Nisha: "If you’re looking to boost the protein, add a poached or fried egg on top. It’s a game-changer."
• Priya: "Want to add some tang? Try adding a few slices of tomato or even a dollop of Greek yogurt."

Optional Variations:

• Vegan Version: "Use gluten-free bread and skip the olive oil for a fully plant-based option!" - Priya
• Add Protein: "Top with a fried egg, poached egg, or even smoked salmon for extra protein." - Nisha
• Sweet Version: "For a sweet twist, drizzle with honey and top with sliced strawberries. It’s a totally different flavor profile, but oh-so-delicious!" - Priya
• Spicy Version: "Feeling adventurous? Add a dollop of sriracha or chili flakes for a spicy kick!" - Nisha

Dietary Considerations:

• This recipe is naturally vegetarian, and can easily be made vegan by omitting the egg and choosing plant-based bread.
• For gluten-free options, just swap in your favorite gluten-free bread and you’re good to go!
• If you’re watching your calories, you can skip the olive oil and opt for a lighter bread like whole grain or rye.

Serving Suggestions:

• Pair your avocado toast with a side of fresh fruit salad for a well-rounded, nutritious breakfast.
• For a refreshing meal, serve it with a smoothie or cold-pressed juice.
• For a more filling option, serve it with roasted veggies or a light soup on the side.
