A quick and flavor-packed version of Gordon Ramsay’s famous avocado toast. With creamy avocado, crisp sourdough, citrusy zing, and herbaceous freshness, this toast makes breakfast or snack time feel like brunch at a 5-star bistro. Top it off with a poached egg or feta for a savory upgrade you’ll crave daily.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 slices sourdough bread (or similar artisan-style bread)
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp cracked black pepper
  • ½ tsp red chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
  • 1 garlic clove, sliced in half

Optional Toppings:

  • Poached or fried egg (for protein and richness)
  • Feta crumbles (adds tangy creaminess)
  • Cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • Smoked salmon (for a luxe, salty bite)
  • Toasted sesame or pumpkin seeds (adds crunch and nuttiness)

Instructions

  • Toast the Bread: Brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil. Toast them in a skillet or under a broiler until they turn crisp and golden. While still warm, gently rub the surface with a halved garlic clove for subtle depth.
  • Make the Avocado Mash: Scoop the avocado into a bowl and mash it with a fork. Keep it slightly chunky for texture. Stir in lemon juice, sea salt, pepper, and chili flakes if you want a spicy kick.
  • Build the Toast: Spread the seasoned avocado evenly across both slices of toasted bread. Sprinkle with chopped herbs, and if you’re feeling fancy, pile on the optional toppings like an egg, feta, tomatoes, or smoked salmon.
  • Final Touch and Serve: Drizzle a little more olive oil over the top and hit it with a pinch of chili flakes if desired. Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and the avocado is fresh.

Notes

  • Use avocados that yield slightly when pressed—overripe avocados will make your mash too mushy.
  • Customize toppings to fit your mood: keep it light with tomatoes or go rich with a poached egg and salmon.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed fresh and not recommended for long storage once assembled.
