Key Ingredients and variations
- Toast: I love to use sourdough, but you can use any kind of bread you prefer or have on hand.
- Avocado: use a ripe medium/large avocado for two toasts, or two small avocados. For the best result, make sure it's ripe.
- Seasoning: simple mixture of garlic, salt, pepper and lemon. Can easily be substituted with spices of choice, like everything but the bagel or lemon pepper.
- Lemon: adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice helps the avocado stay green and balances the creaminess of this toast with a little acidity.
- Tomato: use a tomato of choice, you can mix different kinds, like heirloom, cherry, on the vine, Roma. Make sure they're not overly watery and season them with salt and pepper.
- Goat cheese: adds so much flavor and elevates this avocado toast. Could be replaced with feta, mozzarella, burrata, brie, parmesan...
- Microgreens: they're full of nutrients. They could be replaced with arugula.
