When I only get to prepare dinner for myself at 10pm, I need something quick and not too heavy. Last evening I was in such a situation. So I made myself a scallops and orange salad and wolf it down within minutes because I needed to put my baby to bed. As I was breastfeeding her I was thinking about what I could fix as a second course after she’d fallen sleep as I felt unsatiated. A quick run through my mind on what I had in the fridge and I decided on avocado toast because it’s easy and avocado makes almost everything good, somewhat like chocolate!
It seems odd sharing a recipe on avocado toast (because it’s so simple) but trust me this is no run-of-the-mill avo toast, it IS the best version I’ve made and tasted, if I may say so. The combination of flavours and different textures made my mouth do a happy dance! And I think if you like avocado, you need this Avocado Garlic Toast in your life right now too!
Avocado Garlic Toast Two Ways
Notes
*I used smoked sea salt and it gave this simple dish such an amazing flavour!
Ingredients
Instructions
- Slice the avocado half into approximately 8 slices vertically.
- Remove skin of garlic clove.
- Heat up your grill pan until hot.
- Brush both sides of the bread slices with evoo and grill until browned but not hard.
- Quickly grill the avocado slices on both sides.
- Grate a bit of garlic on one side of the toasts and spread or simply rub the garlic cloves on one side if you prefer a milder garlic flavour.
- On one toast, spread a tablespoon of hummus and top with half the avocado slices on garlic side, lightly brush some evoo on the avocado.
- Top the other toast with the rest of the avocado slices on the side with garlic and lightly squeeze some lemon juice over it.
- Season both toasts with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Eat it immediately. I bet you can't wait for another second anyway!
