Notes
Recipe Notes for Avocado Toast Seasoning:
- Avocado Ripeness: Make sure the avocado is ripe for the best texture and flavor. It should yield to gentle pressure when squeezed but not feel mushy.
- Adjusting the Texture: If you prefer a chunkier texture, mash the avocado lightly. For a creamier spread, mash it more thoroughly or use a food processor for a smoother result.
- Spice Level: The chili flakes add a bit of heat to the seasoning. You can adjust the amount or omit them if you prefer a milder flavor. For more spice, consider adding cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
- Citrus Option: Lemon juice is optional but adds a refreshing tang that enhances the flavor. You can also use lime juice for a slightly different twist.
- Bread Choices: This seasoning works well on any type of toasted bread. Try it with sourdough, whole-grain, gluten-free bread, or even rice cakes for a lighter option.
- Storage: The seasoned avocado mixture is best served immediately to prevent browning. If you need to store leftovers, cover the mixture with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the avocado or store in an airtight container with a bit of lemon or lime juice to help preserve freshness for up to 1 day.
- Additional Toppings: Feel free to add extras like a sprinkle of red onion, cherry tomatoes, arugula, or even a fried egg for more flavor and texture.
- Vegan Option: This recipe is naturally vegan, but make sure your bread choice is vegan-friendly if following a vegan diet.
