After 2 long months, i m participating in BM, i will be doing all 4 weeks this month. For week 1 i chose the theme Toast for Dinner. To say the truth, we eat toast for breakfast, rarely for dinner. So, when i chose the theme, i had to make toast for dinner, and the first recipe i decided to make is, this avocado toast.
I don't buy avocado often, very rarely just for milkshakes, so when i decided to make the toast i bought 3 about to ripe avocados, and waited for almost 4 days for it to ripen.
Waiting for the avocados to ripen is such a pain, if you miss it, it will end up in the trash. The pain of throwing a costly fruit almost kills me. But thankfully, i was able to use up all the fruits i bought this time.
The fun part is mashing the gWe totally loved the toast, feel free to add or delete the seasoning as per your taste. I have used sliced jalapeno peppers(brined) to add zing to the toast and i absolutely relish it!
Ingredients
6 multigrain bread slices (you can use any type of bread)
2 nos ripe Avocados
1 medium sized tomato, finely chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
handful of fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped
juice of half a lime
2 tablespoon sliced jalapeno peppers (store-bought, in brine)
salt to taste
pepper to taste
butter for toasting the bread
Method
To Make the Guacamole
- Cut the avocado, scoop out the flesh into a bowl. To this add chopped onions, tomatoes, coriander leaves, juice of lime.
- Using a fork, mix and mash it well. Do not make it a paste, but a chunky dip. To this add salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Refrigerate until use.
To make the Toast
- Place 2-3 tablespoon of guacamole on a bread slice, place the bread slice on a hot tava, keep the flame simmer, so that the toast cooks slow and turns brown and crisp. It takes around 2-3 minutes for the bread turn crisp.
- Serve hot straight from the tava and enjoy.

That is a delicious looking toast! I am always vary of buying avocadoes, it mostly gives me a heart attack of not being able to use it properly... :/

Such a delicious toast with avocado. Whenever I buy, I usually slice it when it is still raw and bitter or when it is super ripe and goes waste. That is why I always keep away from buying avocados.

Nice toast priya. Yes, waiting to use up the avacado is such a pain and through it away because it is too late is wasteful. I rarely buy it.

I am a big fan of avocado. But agree with you about that thin line between ripening and over ripe. I add it to all kind of salads and toasts too.
