Easy Breakfast Guacamole Toast

Mashed avocado on toast. Salt and a squeeze of lime or lemon. About 10 minutes. One serving.

Ingredients

• 1 avocado (just-ripe: yields slightly to a gentle squeeze)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 squeeze lime or lemon juice
• 2 slices bread

Method

1. Toast the bread.
2. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, scoop the flesh into a bowl.
3. Add salt and lime, mash with a fork to your preferred texture.
4. Spread on toast and eat.

Notes

• Optional on top: a crack of black pepper, a few chili flakes, or a drizzle of olive oil.
• The acid brightens the flavor and slows browning.
• Substitutes for lime or lemon: vinegar (white, apple cider, or rice), the smallest amount, it is stronger than citrus; bottled lime or lemon juice; pickle juice, or brine from olives or capers (ease up on the salt); orange or grapefruit juice, milder and slightly sweet.
• If you have none of these, skip the acid. Just salt and mash, and eat it fresh. It browns faster without acid.
