I have always loved classic avocado toast for breakfast. If I’m not enjoying a warm bowl of oatmeal, then you will probably find me biting down on a crispy slice of toast topped with creamy avocado. My new favorite way to enjoy this simple recipe is with a drizzle of honey and some spicy red chili flakes.

🥘 Ingredients

• Ripe Avocado: Use a Hass avocado if possible, and make sure it is ripe. If the avocado has a bit of give when you squeeze it, then you know it’s ripe and ready to eat. If it’s too hard it will need more time to ripen. If it’s too soft, then it’s past its prime. Place your avocado in a paper bag with a banana to speed up the ripening process if needed.
• Honey: Use raw honey if possible. Raw honey is minimally processed and contains more natural pollen and enzymes. You don’t need a lot – a little bit of honey on avocado toast goes a long way. You can also use hot honey for some more spice!
• Sourdough Bread: A good fresh sourdough bread pairs nicely with avocado and honey. However, feel free to use your favorite bread, such as whole grain bread or a good french bread. You can even use gluten free bread, buckwheat bread, or buckwheat sourdough bread.
• Sea Salt And Crushed Red Pepper (Red Chili Flakes): A generous sprinkle of sea salt and red chili flakes adds flavor and depth to this avocado honey toast recipe. You can also use black pepper instead of the crushed red pepper.

• Avocado Honey Toast With Egg: Top this healthy avocado and honey toast with a runny egg for more protein and flavor.

🔪 Instructions

Warm Bread: Toast slices of bread in the toaster or toaster oven until golden.

Prep Avocado: Cut avocado in half, and remove the pit. Run the knife through the avocado to form small squares, scoop out the flesh, and place it into a bowl.

Spread: Evenly divide the mashed avocado between the 2 pieces of toast. 

Finish: Drizzle honey on top of avocado and sprinkle with chili flakes. Serve topped with optional fresh herbs.
