Grilled Avocado Toast
This is the kind of recipe where the ingredient amounts will vary completely according to your tastes. The amounts here are a suggestion, but feel free to switch it up any way you like. Of course the recipe is easily scaled for a few or a crowd. Don’t smash your avocados too far ahead or they’ll turn brown. You can add a bit of lemon juice to avoid this, but it will change the flavor of the toasts. (If you do this let me know how it tastes.)
Servings: 8 toasts
Ingredients
- 8 thick slices crusty whole grain bread
- 2 avocados peeled, seeded and lightly smashed (see headnote)
- good quality extra virgin olive oil
- crushed red pepper
- flaky sea salt such as Maldon
Instructions
- Heat your grill to medium-high. If you cook on a charcoal grill, even better – thee toasts will have even more smoky-good flavor.
- Place the bread slices on the grill with a bit of space between. Toast for about 3 minutes per side, or until they take on a nice char, but aren’t burned. Remove the toasts and arrange on a serving platter. Divide the smashed avocado between the toasts, smashing it down with a fork. Now douse with a generous drizzle of olive oil. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper and flaky sea salt to taste. Serve hot.
