Easy Peasy Avocado Toast

When I first saw this recipe in Chloe's Kitchen, I (snobbishly) snickered a little thinking "Avocado toast? That's hardly a recipe. Pssh." But since I have a big thing for avocados, I decided to give it a go...and now I understand why this "simple" recipe was included, because it's one of my new favorite lunches. :) Easy, healthy, creamy, and scrumptious, you just can't go wrong with this avocado toast!














Avocado Toast
Slightly adapted from Chloe's Kitchen
Serves 2

2 slices whole wheat bread
1/2-1 avocado, thinly sliced (we usually do half, but the original recipe calls for a whole)
1/2-1 tsp lemon juice (to taste)
Crushed red pepper flakes
Freshly ground black pepper
Sea salt

Toast bread. Fan avocado slices on toast and drizzle with lemon juice. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper to taste.

And if you try it and love it and have a little time to take it to the next level, you can turn it into our yummy PAT Panini variation! Simply butter or baste with olive oil 4 slices of bread on one side only. Using 2 slices of bread, prepare 2 peices of avocado toast as described above, then top with thin slices of tomato and red bell peppers (either roasted or steamed peppers) and cover with the other 2 slices of bread. Place sandwiches in a panini press or on a preheated grill until the inside is warm and the outside is golden brown.

Told you this was easy peasy! :)
