Ingredients
- Sourdough bread
- Avocados
- Lemon juice
- Salt
- Pepper
- Cherry tomatoes
- Radishes
- Microgreens
- Olive oil
- Red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Slice the sourdough bread into 1/2-inch thick pieces, ensuring even cuts for consistent toasting.
- Toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and crisp, either in a toaster, under the broiler, or on a grill pan. Aim for a crunchy exterior while maintaining a soft interior.
- Cut ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Use perfectly ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure.
- Mash the avocado with fresh lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until you achieve a creamy but slightly chunky consistency.
- Thinly slice radishes using a sharp knife or mandoline for delicate, translucent rounds.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes to expose their vibrant interior and release their sweet, juicy flavor.
- Spread the mashed avocado generously onto each toasted bread slice, creating a thick, even layer.
- Arrange the toasted bread slices on a large wooden board or platter, leaving space between each piece.
- Garnish the avocado toast with sliced radishes, halved cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of fresh microgreens.
- Drizzle high-quality extra virgin olive oil over the toasts, allowing it to glisten and add richness.
- Finish by sprinkling red pepper flakes for a subtle heat and additional flavor complexity.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp toast and fresh, vibrant toppings at their peak texture and temperature.
Tips
- Choose the Right Avocados: Make sure to select ripe avocados that yield slightly when pressed. This ensures a creamy texture that's perfect for spreading.
- Perfectly Toasted Bread: For the best flavor and texture, toast your sourdough until golden brown. If using a grill pan, keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
- Zesty Mash: Don’t skimp on the lemon juice! It not only adds flavor but also helps prevent the avocado from browning too quickly.
- Layering Flavors: Feel free to add additional toppings like feta cheese, smoked salmon, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for an extra flavor boost.
- Presentation Matters: Arrange your toast on a large board or platter, leaving space between each slice. This not only looks appealing but makes it easy for guests to serve themselves.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your avocado toast board right after assembling to keep the bread crisp and the toppings fresh.
- Experiment with Spices: Don’t hesitate to mix up the spices! Try adding everything bagel seasoning or a dash of smoked paprika for a unique twist.
