Recipe: Avocado on Toast, The Bettina's Kitchen Way
Avocados make me HAPPY! I am obsessed with them, they are nature’s own bundle of nutrition. I also love the typical breakfast that is served all over Spain: pan con tomate, meaning bread with tomato. Truly it is a match made in heaven. This is my all-time favourite meal. I hope you love it as much as I do.
Serves 1
Ingredients:
2 slices of good-quality shop-bought bread
1/2 avocado, sliced
For the tomato topping (makes enough for 2–4 slices)
1 big ripe tomato or 2 small ones
1 teaspoon salt
pinch of black pepper
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1/2 garlic clove, peeled
3 tablespoons good olive oil
To serve
rocket (arugula)
watercress
basil
sesame seeds
hemp hearts
sprouts
Method:
- Place all the tomato ingredients into a blender and blitz until everything is well combined, then set aside.
- Pop the bread into a toaster and crisp up.
- Place the toast on a plate and add a layer of tomato topping, sliced avocado and any of the serving options. I love topping my toast with rocket or watercress and basil and a sprinkling of seeds, hemp hearts or sprouts for added flavour and nutrition.
