Avocado Toast

This may well be the easiest recipe I ever post, but it’s definitely one of my new favorite breakfast, especially with a sunny side up egg.

It Must Be Ripe

I love avocados. I am so jealous of the folks in California that can literally go out to a tree in their back yard and pick what they need. Here in the Midwest, you have to think ahead to be sure you can get one perfectly ripe. At my house, I buy at least two weekly and then work my schedule around them.

For Breakfast?

I honestly hadn’t ever thought about avocado for breakfast, but then I started seeing avocado toast all over the internet and on menus at many local restaurants. Well, why wouldn’t it be good for breakfast?

Let’s Give it a Try

I had all 5 ingredients I thought would be required and decided to give it a try. I mashed the avocado together with lemon juice, salt and pepper and then slathered it on top of a piece of toast. I wanted a little more protein so I added a sunny side up to the top.

It’s a Winner

Now I know what the buzz is all about. It is incredible.
I promise this is not a recipe for breakfast alone. I love avocado toast for a quick afternoon snack or it pairs up beautifully with a glass of red wine for a light dinner.
