Avocado toast seems to be the craze that won’t die down. If you’ve ever had some, it’s not hard to see why. It’s delicious and simple to make, which is perfect for anyone on the go. But if you’ve been living under a rock the past couple years, here’s some more information.
What is Avocado Toast?
Avocado toast – or “avo toast” as it’s known by the cool kids – is simply either sliced or smashed avocado on top of a piece of toast. There are lots of different toppings you can add, however avocado toast with salt and pepper is one of the more basic versions.
How to Make Simple Avocado Toast
This version of avocado toast has a little extra added to it besides just salt and pepper. It’s a recreation of an appetizer I had at a restaurant a while back that classes up the typical avocado toast.
After you’ve made your gluten free toast and mashed up your avocado (being very careful not to cut your hand while cutting the avocado), you’ll start by adding the salt and pepper. Next add on some shaved parmesan and some fresh lemon zest. Drizzle a couple drops of olive oil and top and you’ve got a fancy yet simple avocado toast.
