Why you'll love this recipe

• It's absolutely delicious! Avocado toast is a favorite, versatile dish you can easily customize to your taste or mood. While a hot honey drizzle on a creamy avocado and bread might be a little surprising, it's actually such a great addition. Perfectly sweet and savory with some spice, and more and more delicious bite after bite.

Key Ingredients and variations

• Toast: I used my favorite sourdough, but you can use any kind of bread you like.
• Avocado: use a ripe medium to large avocado for two toasts, or two small avocados. Make sure it's ripe, meaning if you squeeze it gently, it'll have a little give. If it's too mushy it's probably brown inside and if it's too hard or bright green, it's not ripe yet.
• Hot honey: I love the spice hot honey brings, but if you don't want heat, use regular honey of your choice. You can also add red pepper flakes, for extra heat.
• Lemon juice: adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice helps the avocado stay green longer, and the acidity balances the sweetness of this recipe perfectly.
• Salt, pepper and garlic powder: use to taste. You can also use other spices like onion powder, lemon pepper, everything but the bagel, sesame seeds or a multipurpose spice mix.

Tips

• Make sure to pick a ripe avocado for the best taste.
• Avocado toast is best enjoyed right away after preparing it.
• Use quality bread, like sourdough, whole grain, artisan bread, or your favorite gluten-free toast.
• Adjust the spice level to your taste. If you don't really enjoy heat, use regular honey or a mix of hot and regular. If you like a lot of heat, add red pepper flakes or even hot sauce.
