Something Different for Breakfast

ALRATIBA — Tue, 23 Mar 2021 14:34:05 GMT

I saw some avocado toast recipes yesterday and printed out a couple that included ingredients I had on hand. (I and thought I'd try one for breakfast today since I had one avocado* left.)

Easy to make, just mash the avocado and add the ingredients and spread it on the bread. Takes just a few minutes to make. All recipes recommend a hearty multi-grain bread.

I regard recipes as suggestions, not directions - so I don't measure - just add what I think sounds "right."

I used a bit of olive oil, some lemon juice, some minced garlic, some salt, some pepper, some Italian seasoning. Turned out really good. Along with some coffee and apple sauce - it was a satisfying breakfast.

If you like avocados - check out some recipes online. Lots of variations out there. Just google avocado toast recipes.

* (I'm concentrating on adding more anti-inflammatory foods to my diet and looking for interesting recipes.)

My husband enjoys avocado toast with his morning tea.

Love avodaco toast! You recipe method for simple items is after my own style.

If you're out and about, hungry for something not so bad, the new Dunkin Donuts avocado toast is very good. Sourdough toast, lemon and fresh-tasting avocado. I was pleasantly surprised. With a DD ice coffee it's great.

Thank you for the idea! Would you say the avocado spread is similar to guacamole?

Good to know - I have 2 DD within walking distance. I have a weakness for jelly donuts and try to avoid actually going into the store!

Thank you! (and I may just get some donuts to take home!)

@ValuSkr

Sort of ... just different spices and not as smooth as quac usually is.

I left it kind of chunky when I mashed it. But that's a personal choice.

Of course, you need dessert after "lunch"!

@ValuSkr @ALRATIBA I simply slice 1/2 an avacado on the toast. Not a fan of mushing up the delicious avacado. Then, I add my favorite spices for breakfast. It's delicious and filling!

I just mash avocado on a piece of toast, add salt and pepper. Put an over easy or poached egg on top and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Delicious.

@BirkiLady That's how I do it. Just sliced on the toast.

I just sprinkle half an avocado with everything bagel seasoning and eat it right out of the shell.

@JeanLouiseFinch thanks for the suggestion! I just picked up a jar of everything bagel seasoning last week.

Awesome, @Knit-Chick. You’re welcome! I also like to spread cream cheese on celery or mini peppers and sprinkle some on. It’s good on eggs and tossed salad too. Good thing Costco sells a big jar. I use it several times a week!

@JeanLouiseFinch I would've never thought to do that. Sounds delicious! Must buy avocados!

Thanks!

A little avocado storage hack FYI. Do you have this experience? Avocados go on sale so you buy 5 or 6, or buy the bags at the warehouse club. They are rock hard when you take them home but 4-5 days later they’re unuseable and some always end up getting pitched. What the heck?!?

The next time you buy avocdos, wrap the ones you won’t immediately use in foil and press it tightly. Stick the wrapped avocados in your refrigerator vegetable drawer. They’ll keep in there for several days to as much as a couple of weeks. Just take them out as needed. If they were rock hard when they went in, you may need to take them out a day in advance of when you want to use them. 🥑

I will have to try this. I currently put in fridge when they just begin to ripen and get another few days out of them.
