Easy 5-Minute Perfect Avocado Toast in 10 Minutes (Healthy Breakfast)
Discovered in a tiny college kitchen and never let go of — avocado toast is the rare breakfast that is creamy, crunchy, and ready before the kettle whistles. The trick is a ripe avocado, sturdy bread, and a generous squeeze of citrus.
Instructions
- 01
Toast the bread on medium for 2–3 minutes until deeply golden and crisp at the edges. Keep an eye on it — sturdy slices brown quickly.
- 02
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash with a fork, leaving a few chunks for texture.
- 03
Squeeze in the lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and stir gently to combine.
- 04
Spread the avocado generously over the warm toast using the back of a spoon — the warmth helps it cling.
- 05
Add your favourite toppings: a soft egg, cherry tomatoes, chilli or microgreens.
- 06
Finish with a drizzle of olive oil, a final pinch of flaky salt, and serve immediately while the toast is still warm.
- ✦Pick a ripe avocado: it should yield gently to a press, like a ripe peach.
- ✦Salt twice — a pinch into the mash, then flaky salt on top for crunch.
- ✦Always serve fresh; avocado browns quickly once cut.
- ✦To ripen an avocado overnight, place it in a paper bag with a banana.
